Unlike public trackers, it shares peers only within a group using the same announce URL.
It really works like a private tracker, but can be generated with one click of a button.

## The Problem PrivTracker Solves
Sharing large files has always been difficult without compromising privacy or simplicity.
Centralized services require full uploads before sharing, often with account registration and fees for large files.
Hosting a file server demands technical knowledge, like opening firewall ports, and requires your computer to stay online.
PrivTracker solves this by enabling private torrent sharing within a trusted group.
Using UPnP, most torrent clients can automatically handle port opening, and only one person in the group needs an open port for everyone to download.
Unlike public trackers, PrivTracker shares peers' IPs only within the group and keeps files off public networks like DHT, ensuring privacy and efficient sharing.
