µtorrent 1.2.1 beta show D in the peers flags for peers using DHT

[seveb]

One of the new features µtorrent 1.2.1 beta has according to changelog is this:-

Show D in the peers flags for peers using DHT

Now according to FAQs D = Currently downloading (interested and not choked)

So which is it then?

Knowing which peers are using DHT could be very useful especially for private tracker sites.

Thanks in advance.

Great program by the way.

Edit: Thanks for the reply silverfire.

Starting in the µTorrent 1.2.x series, the second D near the end represents the DHT flag. The first one is the one that means that you're currently downloading. The FAQ will be updated soon.

The D with a space between all the letters is the DHT flag.

Example:

DXU D

Thanks for the fast replies. I have a follow up question:-

Does the D at the end mean that the peer has DHT enabled, regardless if I have or not

OR

that he has connected via DHT.

What I am getting at is, do I need to have DHT enabled to see the last D?

[silverfire]

It means that you connected to that peer through the DHT network, so none of them should appear if DHT is disabled.

[seveb]

Thanks again silverfire. All clear to me now.

I really hope they change the DHT varible in that column, it does get a little confusing having 2 D's there.

[boo]

mmm, maybe a H instead

[DomZ]

Someone on IRC suggest #D

[Animorc]

I agree about the flag being confusing

I would suggest an asterisk, *, instead.

[chaosblade]

maybe just a [D] would do if you dont wanna change the meaning too much.

[boo]

[D] is nice, 1 vote for that

[Firon]

How about Ð?

[ColdArmor]

I was thinking [D] would work well.

[NiteShdw]

Yeah it's confusing with two items both using the same flag. Something should be changed to reduce the confusion between 'D' and 'D'.

mmm, maybe a H instead

I support this idea.
