PukiMan Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I don't think uttorent actually connects to DHT peers. When I load a torrent from public tracker and see DHT got 56 peers (For current torrent) and the tracker only 8. Now I check the peers list and I see I only connected to the eight from the tracker. What I need to do, to connect to the DHT peers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Have you allowed UDP connections through your router and firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PukiMan Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Don't have a router. I only got a cable modem that my ISP provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 OMG... I just reread your original post, and realized that I was trying to answer the wrong question...You're going about this in the wrong way. The DHT message telling you how many peers you got from DHT is just like the tracker scrape -- you don't necessarily connect to all of them, you just know of their existence, and can use them later if needed.

Now, how do I use them? 8 peers from the tracker are not that great. Any extra help would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 You don't. The client does. In the end, it doesn't matter if you're getting decent speeds, and even if you're not, you can't guarantee that those DHT peers would give you any better speeds anyway. So basically, there's no problem with your DHT at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitzbull Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I find it interesting also that with azureus i would see over 1 million peers on dht and with Utorrent the most i have ever seen is 222. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 This has been answered a while ago. Azureus counts the estimated size of the ENTIRE DHT network, while µTorrent only counts those it's connected directly to (which are also connected to others that you're not connected to).
