Angrymonk Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 when i download a torrent link from www.sumotorrent.com i see there is a DHT link available with the torrent, but till now i hav not been able to use this link with utorrent. Can someone tell me what this link does.The link looks like dht://BD0B7F03FE041AFB0833608C6F17B8AC4DBE7922.dht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Does the site specifically tell you what program to use it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 It's either an Azureus/Vuse exclusive function or a BitComet exclusive function.Either way, uT doesn't support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrymonk Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 i could not use it with bitcomet, however i will try it with azureusshouldn't this function be there in utorrent too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Not really.If the site is offering the direct torrent, there's not really a significant need to give such a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Turning it into a magnet URI seems to work: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:BD0B7F03FE041AFB0833608C6F17B8AC4DBE7922 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I've never seen or heard of such a URI scheme. Gotta wonder where they came up with such an idea D:It seems the site offers magnet URIs as well anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 yeah, their magnet and dht links are.... different which suggests alternate encoding methodsThe generic magnet: link compatible with Azureus and uTorrent can load both the hex infohash or a base32 encoding http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0009.htmlAnyone able to verify that for this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 The magnet URIs it seems to serve are definitely Base32. Its DHT link seems to use the hex-string infohash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
