private all the way, only public Torrent that I seed is the Arch ISO.
imo it offers better security, anonimity, and possibly acts as a dummy filter, as uploads get checked. I also like my rank that I get when I'm actively seeding a bunch c:
Not sure how it provides better anonymity when all your activity is linked to your account. Should this account somehow be linked to you, a malicious actor would know everything you (potentially ever) downloaded.
You are right, I was thinking about randos. When I pub torrent an agent can just log all the IPs and I'm fked, when it's private it should be free of these people. I get that it probably isn't but, nothing is perfect.
