Nodecast / Preferences to setup bittorrent and active the embedded tracker in the advanced setting

When you drag a file or a directory in a sphere, nodecast create a symlink to the source before create the torrent file. So you can drag a big file or directory without fear, nodecast will not need to make a local copy.

When you delete a media shared from you, if you make choice to delete files from your hard disk, nodecast delete only the symlink and not to real file or directory.

When you delete a media received from a contact, if you make choice to delete files from your hard disk, nodecast delete the file or the directory. So if you need to keep the media, right clic on it, select open destination folder, and make a backup before delete him.
