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.

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.
