Snapphane Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 As I have understood it, it works like this:Normal torrents: Uses a tracker to find peers. Can only find peers connected to THAT trackerWith DHT: Checks with the DHT network for other peers, then those connected to the tracker you are using.with Peer Exchange (PEX): Checks with other peers if they know of any new peers. Doesen't need a tracker or DHT to find peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectorferret Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 With a tracker or DHT. You still need one, but it's great if say, a tracker goes down, as you can continue to work off of peer exchange. DHT and Peer Exchange combined let you join a torrent even without a tracker at all.

buddy Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 So if you are working thru peer exchange, do the stats get repported to the tracker?...Im guessing no.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yes. This doesn't take the tracker out of the loop, it just lets you get more peers without having to re-announce to the tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
