Syncs To Where? Possible Security Breach?

[Merk7]

I have using BT for months to sync two large Document folders on two computers. It has worked great.  But . . . .

 

Today, I noticed that BT on Computer 1 was transferring data (as reflected under both Transfer and History), even though there it showed "no connected devices."  The files being transferred were not showing up on Computer 2. Computer 2 showed "no connected devices" and no transfer activity or history.

 

So where are the files from Computer 1 going? Should I concerned about a security breach or that a third party is grabbing my files?

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi Merk,

 

That's pretty surprising. As soon as some peer is detected with the same share - it immediately appears in the devices list. It simply cannot happen in other way: as soon as peer connects to the tracker server, tracker will let other know at least - it's IP and port to get connected - and other peers will display it.

 

Also, remoter peer's name is displayed in Transfers tab and in History (see sample screenshots):

 

 

 

Also, you can turn on debug logs  and see which peers are connected to your one. I would appreciate if you can share the logs and screenshots for your case.
