As I have understood it, it works like this:

Normal torrents: Uses a tracker to find peers. Can only find peers connected to THAT tracker

With 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.

How does it get its initial peerset?
