maelstrm Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Not quite sure if this should go here or in General but I figured that this was more likely to get Admin attention sooner.For users of private trackers, my understanding is that DHT is a Bad Thing , as it shares the torrent and peer data with people not on the tracker.Since it is a new optional feature, I believe it would be in the best interests of users if you were to disable it by default and allow users to turn it on, rather than the other way around.Thoughts?Oh, and once again, thanks for all your hard work on uTorrent guys, it truly is a great little program!

qazsz Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 i agree with you. i think it should be off by default but the user should still be able to turn it on for specified torrents. i did notice that some private trackers are startting to disable DHT in the torrent itself.

bkman Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 It is not necessary. Private trackers can easily make use of/enforce the Private flag if they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think this issue has been brought as soon as DHT support was announced. Private trackers should have torrent with the private flag in them. If they don't, that is the problem.Users using private trackers should know to turn of DHT if they download torrents with miss the private flag. It is clearly displayed in the General tab for a Torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelstrm Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Fair enough. I'd close the thread if I could but that doesn't seem possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
