Suggestion: get rid of the torrent files and just serve magnet urls in plain text without a clickable button. This way you get rid of the knowledge of who-downloaded-what, and also save some bandwidth.

If 2 more users recommend this, it will be done.

What's the intent/desire for you to be on the delivering end of serving .torrent files?

The DHT search from the magnet lookup will announce to the world what you are downloading, no?

There is no intent, it's just there as many people still prefer torrent file. Though we have magnet links, so security focused users can download without us knowing nothing.
