djGrrr Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 i am wondering, does the new DHT features in uTorrent support the securetorrent options in the torrent and tracker, so that private trackers can force the torrents not to be used in DHT?here are the 2 things that MUST be implememnted if they are not already:http://wiki.bitcomet.com/help/Tracker_HTTP_Protocolhttp://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/SecureTorrentsthese 2 features allow private trackers to add the private key to the torrent, which will prevent torrents from being shared in DHT, and to make it have a private key in all the torrent announces, so if the torrent is older, and does not have the private key set, when the client announces even once, it will see the private key (even if it gets an error) and will instantly stop using DHT.If these features are not in the current implementation of DHT in uTorrent, you will soon find that uTorrent will be banned from all private trackersTHanks,djGrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Yes... there was a large discussion about DHT before, and the devs made sure that DHT is disabled for all torrents with the 'private' flag on. Try it. You'll find the option to enable DHT to be grayed out for the individual torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj26 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 It would be interesting to see some public key encryption involved in the whole "private tracker" affair - this would solve a lot of problems with security/trust/etc. But I ramble on non-µTorrent-specific topics...

chaosblade Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Why dont people bother to TRY something, or SEARCH the forum before posting apocalypse warnings.uTorrent always respected the private flag ever since DHT was added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 In fact, µTorrent supported the flag even BEFORE DHT was added. The torrent creator had support for the flag long before DHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 @Firon: Ahhhhhh I was about to say the same thing! lol we think alike ;PBut I thought about it again, and realized that you can't really say µTorrent respected the flag, since it did nothing with it (besides set it) before DHT was implemented.

Firon Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well, logically if it supported creating torrents with the flag, it would support using it with DHT, don't you think? And this person obviously never read the forums or even tried the program, else he would've found that out by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I still stand by a post I previously made ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well, we have the Wiki FAQ now, but it still won't help for people who are too lazy (or stupid...) to explore/figure out anything for themselves, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Wasn't this addressed in about three other topics... µTorrent respects private flags, IF the tracker admin is smart enough to flag their torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
