anonbt Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I see there is an option to enable/disable the use of the DHT network for non-private torrents. When would not using dht on such torrents be a benefit?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 If you're asking about not using DHT for single, select torrents, I'm not sure myself. Of course, some torrents that come from private trackers don't have the private flag set, so you might have to disable DHT manually for that torrent.If you're asking about not using DHT in general (I doubt it, but just in case), some hardware can't handle the packets generated by DHT.

poutnik Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Is true that some trackers do not count ratio properly if DHT is ON ?Edit: I mean tracker based ratio on some trackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuser Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 [useless quoting removed by moderator]No, ratio is a client only thing.If a client counts DHT-traffic towards the stats(which should IMO), then the tracker can only read and handle that as normal stats. There's nog way for the tracker to know DHT is enabled on a torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 It is possible if they have the tracker connect and compare the peer cache with the the peer list, and see which ones don't belong, but that's a real pain -- though it has happened before. Even then, there is no way to find out who has DHT enabled, AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
