That is the point of it, but if you are worried, grab 7-zip and make an mencrypted archive.
Good to know, I was just double checking. Thanks!
Wouldn't the DHT scrapers still find it? Also what tracker do you guys use for this? I've thought about doing this but I am always worried it'll get downloaded by unintended observers (regardless of how hard I PGP the contents.)
I am not really sure of how fast a DHT scraper works, but if you are worried, encrypt the file with VeraCrypt or 7zip before torrenting it.
It is a sensible precaution, since tge file is sent in clear over the interweb
