Access to the tracker web pages and the tracker announce process can be controlled by password settings specified on the Tracker configuration panel. This supports basic authentication and as such the user name and password values are transmitted in plain text. This can further be protected by using SSL (below). Note that password protecting the tracker announce process requires a BitTorrent client capable of handling authentication, such as Azureus. Communication with the tracker can be encrypted using SSL, again this requires a suitable client such as Azureus. Configuration of SSL is required for both the Azureus downloader and tracker

Azureus implements the BitTorrent protocol using java language and comes bundled with many invaluable features for both beginners and advanced users: * Multiple torrent downloads * Upload and download speed limiting, both globally and per torrent * Advanced seeding rules * Adjustable disk cache * Only uses one port for all the torrents * UPnP sets the forward on your router * Can use a proxy, for both tracker and peer communications * Fast resume * Can set a default download dir and move completed files * Can import torrents automatically from a set dir * Highly customizable interface * IRC plugin included for quick help * Embedded tracker, host your own torrents, automate your shares (periodic scanning of a dir)... * Distributed Hash Table: host on it a completely decentralised torrent and/or benefit from it when the tracker is offline.
