Epyx Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I'm confused about how DHT uses hashes. I'll give a concrete example to explain my question.I have an AVI file which I want to re-seed and re-advertise - say on Mininova. The torrent only contains that single file. If I want to put it up on, let's say, Demonoid, then I have to add their 47-byte text file to the torrent. That means the torrents will hash differently I assume.My question is: given that both torrents contain the same AVI file, will DHT enable the Mininova swarm to see the Demonoid swarm? Or is it based on torrent hashing rather than file hashing?

Epyx Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Blah ... thought as much. Thanks for clearing it up, DWK.
