Bug Description
Binary package hint: miro
Miro has a preference option "Ignore unencrypted connections". This is very confusing terminology. First, it is sort of a double-negative. Second, it's not totally clear what is meant by "ignore". Third, it's not clear if this applies only to incoming connections, or outgoing connections, or both? And finally it doesn't indicate the scope or breadth of the effect this setting provides. Does it improve security? Will it hinder the amount or type of downloads that can be received?
My guesses to these questions are probably off, but I assume the following would be better terminology:
[x] Only use encrypted connections for bittorrent downloads
