Torrent Passkey Question

--- Quote from: BakaBT Wiki ---How is my traffic tracked?

BakaBT uses a passkey system to identify each user. Your passkey can be found on your settings page. When you announce, your passkey is used to identify you and to (very accurately) track your upload and download traffic, regardless of any IP changes. The passkey is automatically added to the announce URL of every torrent you download whilst logged in. YOU MUST NEVER, EVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSKEY TO ANY OTHER PERSON. Doing so will result in undesirable outcomes. We will not help to fix any bad ratios caused by user's negligence of the security of their torrent passkey.

If someone wishes to seed a torrent from a different computer than the one they download the files onto originally, do they have to change their torrent passkey?

I remember reading that if you try to do the above, you get banned from the BakaBT tracker.

No, you don't.
You will get banned if you try to seed the same torrent from two or more computers simultaneously or make it available to a wide audience.

Ok, I thought I had it wrong.  Thanks for clearing that up, though I swear I remember reading that passkey bit somewhere on BakaBT.

How is "Make available to a wide audience" defined?

If it gets leaked.

Giving a torrent to you friend is OK. Giving it to all your classmates is not.
