Technogreg Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hey guys !I take the time to wrote because I want some explanations on how does magnet links works.I read some articles and understood some things :- a magnet link contain a coded hash of the file to download- a magnet link is just a text line, not a file- a magnet link is enough to start a downloadbut I can't understand HOW does my torrent client is supposed to know who to ask in first, using DHT, to find seeders. I mean, with no tracker, how can the client know where to find help ?Maybe I misunderstood something, that's why I want a precise and clean explain please.Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technogreg Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thx for the link, but I can't figure how did the client know which seed is actually connected and have this file in particular. I mean there is no IP's contained in the magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
