What does that mean exactly? Is my IP visible to other peer? Why? How to not be visible?

Thank you!

If you read the column heading again, you'll notice that the visibility relates to ownership of the torrents, not your IP address. In other words, your login name will appear next to the torrents you have uploaded. There is an option to hide your username if that's desirable, but otherwise, nothing is visible to other users.

This is only related to others peers knowing about the uploader of the torrent files, not the uploader's IP address. When you upload a Torrent on the Postman Tracker, you can decide whether to upload the torrent as an anonymous uploader or with your Username. In this case your username is visible, and that's alright.

I understand but I have at least one other torrent where the owner name is note hidden and it does not appear on that list. So my question...

Finally, today the list was cleared. So I guess it has more something to do with the fact that I'm the only seeder or not.

I've uploaded some more torrents and some are now 'Visible' and some not, and non of them had been post as anonymous. So it's still a bit obscure...
