vurlix Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 private torrents disallow compliant bittorrent clients from using DHTnon-private torrents allow dht to be used when trackers are unreachable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooter Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 i thought it was DHT but needed to confirm it before i send the guide live.... nice one, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00ted Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Maybe this is the wrong place to ask/post this. I've never been up to snuff on DHT either...but if the private tracker hosting a private torrent is offline, nobody will be able to seed/peer?

zebulon Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 r00ted : as long as seeds and peers don't stop their torrent, it'll be OK. But no newcomers until the tracker is up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
