Dht & Udp


Ares

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if, now that uTorrent uses DHT, if it is necessary to forward UDP along with the TCP on whatever port I'm using. I already am, I'm just wondering if it is necessary. I don't fully understand how DHT works, so, does uTorrent use UDP as well now? If not, is it planned (since it seemed to help my speeds on BitComet)?

I would just like to say that uTorrent is leaving my BitComet in the dust. I'm definately using my max bandwidth, and I can still surf web pages without a hitch. Very nice. Thanks!

Thanks,

DHT will work without the UPD port forwarded, but it's just like when you don't have TCP forwarded: it doesn't work as well.

uTorrent uses UDP for DHT, TCP for everything else. Both use the same port number.

Thanks for the quick response =)
