DHT. Torrent Private, Please Help

[FatAssC]

every one in private trackers are saying you must disable DHT.

why?

Because they're either lemmings or idiots.

[FatAssC]

i know what DHT is and i know what a torrent marked private is.

if a private torrent isn't leaking data why disable DHT?

if im right DHT don't need to be disabled, but how do im know im right?

i have read utorrents helpfile and http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Does_DHT_mean_my_torrents_from_private_trackers_are_getting_leaked.3F

but they say im wrong.

so is uTorrent 1.7.5 leaking data with a private torrent and DHT enabled in the client?

[jewelisheaven]

They either do not have any first-hand knowledge of uTorrent 1.7 (very sad because it has been stable and out for over 3 months) or what DWKnight said.

It isn't.

so im right?

when i created a topic in a swedish torrent site and asked they anly told me what DHT is and the admins locked my topic.

i created a new one and told them that the function of DHT wasn't the question then they removed my new topic.

in every swedish torrent site they tell you to disable DHT,DHT for new torrents, Peer Exchange, Local Peer Discovery, UPnP port mapping.

and they have this stupid speed guide settings that don't work.

i am a noob and i don't want "people who knows" to tell noobs what to do if they don't need to do or say what settings they must have for best speed if it just gives bad results.

disable DHT isn't bad but they tell us to do it for the wrong reasons.

a guide the tell you is the best for all users, computers and connections:

Network:

# Disable 'UPnP port mapping'

# Disable 'Randomize port each time µTorrent starts'

# 'Global maximum upload rate (kB/s) = 12500

Torrents:

# Disable 'Enable DHT Network'

# 'Global maximum number of connections' = 2000

# 'Maximum numbers of connected peers per torrent' = 250

# 'Number of upload slots per torrent' = 250

Advanced:

# net.low_cpu = false

# net.max_halfopen = 43

# peer.disconnect_inactive_intervall = 500

# diskio.sparse_files = true

# diskio.write_queue_size = 20000

i don't think this is the complete guide and isn't good for all connections.

sorry for my bad english, im swedish.

Most of those settings are very bad suggestions.

Disabling UPnP is pointless, upload rate is too high (cept maybe if you've got 100mbit), disabling DHT is pointless, too high number of connections and upload slots, half open should always stay at 8, don't mess with the disconnect interval, write queue size doesn't even exist anymore.

[FatAssC]

thanks.

i linked to this topic and the staff said that the administrator don't know what's he talkin' about.

this is pointless.

[Switeck]

I agree with almost everything Firon said.

net.max_halfopen should almost never be changed from the default value of 8...except to reduce it due to problems with your networking hardware and/or software!
