plazzTT Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was having a problem until recently where the DHT status was stuck at 0 peers (login) or "waiting to log in".It also said uPnP okay, and my torrents were downloading okay.I checked my router config, and uTorrent had only opened the TCP port with uPnP. Should it also be opening a UDP port, so that DHT can work?I forced the port open using my router config, and now DHT connects okay.How many DHT peers should I be seeing? It's only at 254 peers now. I was expecting more, especially seeing that Azureus' DHT has 900,000+ peers. Am I missing something?Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 1.) You connect to nodes, not peers. Get used to it. Your amount seems fine. :/2.) Azureus calculates the amount of peers through the bucket density, therefore it's an approximation only, and a very rough one at that.3.) It's a mathematical improbability that you can connect to 900,000+ users - unless you have all the bandwidth in the world available to yourself, which again, is virtually impossible.

plazzTT Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 OK. It's getting enough peers anyway.About my other question, should uPnP be opening a UDP port? If not, maybe it should be, otherwise people have to open the port manually for DHT to work?I thought this change in the b431 might have something to do with it:- Change: DHT binds UDP socket to net.bind_ipBut no.

Firon Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Please don't double post. Use the edit link.And forwarding of the UDP port is not required for the functioning of DHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
