PrivTracker allows to share torrent files just with your friends, nobody else. Unlike public trackers, it shares peers only within a group which is using the same Announce URL. It really works like a private tracker, but can be generated with one click of a button.

It's a neat idea, but I feel that something like Magic Wormhole would be simpler and better for this.

I guess it's convenient if everyone in the group is already using a torrent client.

Destiny uses the magic wormhole protocol but unlike typical magic wormhole clients it is easy to use on all platforms.

Looks like they have an even easier to use web app.
Although it's limited to single files under 200 MB.

Ah, weird the webapp would be limited when the local app isn't.

Do you also need a special setup on clients to use wormholes? Or just a http link?

You have to use the wormhole tool on each side.

Are you paid to advertise?

Lol, no. I just wanted to make sure everybody saw it as in my experience it is the easiest way to get files of any size transfered across the internet.
