Azureus includes a tracker, and the "My Tracker" View, accessible through the View Menu will show both the torrents you publish and those you host.

[edit] Publish options
[Image:publish view]
The "My Torrent" context menu item "Publish" enables you to publish a torrent to your tracker's web page without hosting it. This provides a quick way of sharing a torrent with other users. The torrent's existing tracker will be used by any other users, not yours.
[edit] Definition
- When you publish a torrent, you list a torrent on the tracker's web page; the .torrent file is published on the site without you hosting it. Users of the file will rely on the torrent's existing tracker.
- Your tracker must be configured correctly for you to publish (or host) torrents.
[edit] How To

[edit] Comments
- The difference between hosting and publishing is this
- When you host a torrent, peers connect to you -- the tracker -- to obtain information about other peers;
- When you publish a torrent, you only put the .torrent file that you found elsewhere on your tracker webpage.

[edit] Host options
[Image:Host view]
You can host a torrent when you created it using your tracker.
[edit] Definition
- Hosting a torrent means making your machine act as a tracker for this torrent. Azureus can host torrents through its built-in tracker.
- hosting in passive mode will only track the torrent
- normal hosting will be able to seed the torrent as well
- Your tracker needs to be configured for you to host (or publish) torrents.
