Symptoms
Cause
Rtorrent 16 does not need the account to download or seed. A .torrent file from a private tracker carries your passkey in its tracker addresses, and rtorrent announces with those addresses. An account on the Trackers page serves a different purpose: with it, the panel can search that tracker and fetch the .torrent files you pick from the results.
Resolution
Notice & Advise
Keep a private .torrent file to yourself: its tracker addresses carry your passkey. A diagnostics dump of the package leaves tracker passkeys out.

Resolution
- Download the .torrent file from the tracker's website while signed in to your account there.
- Add it to Rtorrent 16: press Add torrents in Quick access, or open the Add torrent page. rtorrent downloads and seeds with the addresses in the file.
- If you want to search the tracker from the panel, open Trackers, add the account under Accounts and save. The card is marked kept on this NAS, and a saved key is shown masked.
