Hello,

when i modify torrent file (change trackers and change it from private to public), it warns me that InfoHash will be changed. (im using SW: Bittorent tracker editor)

What will be consequences of the changed InfoHash when i begin to seed that torrent?

Thank you

The torrent becomes a completely different one and basically useless.

Private torrent files are locked to a specific tracker. This is done for a reason.
