The most anyone will ever be able to see is what Torrent client you're using, but not your OS. And Transmission is available on literally every OS out there.Thank you so much for all of your replies! The MacRumors Community means so much to me.
What about this situation:
I'm using a Bit Torrent client to download completely legal files like Linux distributions and since I'm connected to other users downloading/uploading the Bit Torrent file these other users will be able to see that I'm running MacOS High Sierra which isn't receiving security updates, which would make me vulnerable to attack?
My web browser isn't the avenue of attack at all in this situation so even if I'm running the latest web browser I'm still vulnerable to attack...![]()
As I already mention... this has only been a concern because you don't understand the fundamentals of what you're using. Knowledge is the most powerful tool on earth, and we all need more of it. Especially when it comes to things we use daily.
Also, as I already mentioned. You can easily shoehorn Mojave or Catalina onto a 2011 mini. Not complicated at all. I run High Sierra on an 09 mini, which isn't supported, and it runs great.
