Animorc Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Yeah, it works just fine. In fact, I was able to download an untracked torrent that didn't work in Azureus, so it all depends on what nodes you're connected to. And btw, as I've understood it, the number in the statusbar doesn't show the total amount of peers, only the amount of connected peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 BitComet and Bram Cohen's distributed tracking methods use DHT. Azureus uses its own method of distributed tracking. The torrent that didn't work in Azureus was probably a DHT torrent.edit: forgot to mention this, but µT uses DHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Don't compare Azureus & µT peers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
