This isn't really a big problem, but in the Torrents (http://www.hongfire.com/forum/torrents.php?) link at the top of the page, it will display new torrents that are posted in the Admin & Mod forums, and I am under the assumption that most of the members cannot access that forum or that torrent, so..
Just letting you that those torrents will appear on that list, intentional or not. My apologies if this is a repeat thread.

I guess when anyone submit the torrent, the tracker will take the torrent and put it on torrent page automatically no matter where the torrent is located. It might be possible to configure tracker software not to take torrent from any particular forum but I'm not the one making the software. So I don't really know.
Regular members cannot access the Admin & Mods forum but I'm not sure if you can save the torrent file from torrent page or not. I've never tried that before. Although it was tempting to try. :D

*nod nod* I didn't think it'ed be a major problem. I'm on staff of some other forums and I know I certainly appreciate it when users give the heads up on things that may not be kosher, so.. ^^

nah, no problem, not really. that torrent was simply part of a message and leech away if you want.
but truth to tell, nobody really thought about that before. :)
True, if you can access the torrent, go right ahead and leech. It's not like the moderators have many special files restricted only to them.

Alright then. ^^

I tried to see if I could access the torrent and I couldn't. I admit I didn't try exceedingly hard but the normal methods didn't work. The torrent link itself takes you to the thread/post in that forum and if you don't have permissions you can't see it.
I'm glad it's not a problem though. :)

Have you tried right-click on the diskette icon and 'save as'? :D

When I went to check, I realized I couldn't find that torrent from before.. http://divine.yorisou.net/sprites/FF6/Cyan/anger.gifhttp://divine.yorisou.net/sprites/FF6/Cyan/shock.gif I searched for its content but came up empty so I guess it was moved/removed or something' http://divine.yorisou.net/sprites/FF6/Cyan/laugh.gif. Oh well. Guess I'll have to wait until next time to test that. ;)
