and what DHT mean?

dht (distributed hash table) is not needed for your client to work.

It is only used if ALL the following apply

Tracker allows dht connections

You enable dht

at least one peer your connected to enables dht

Then if your client cannot connect to tracker, it will attempt to bypass tracker by connecting using dht.

I suggest you begin reading here…

Just one fine point – it’s not up to the tracker to allow/disallow DHT. The tracker isn’t involved in any way. It is the torrent creator, at the time of creation, who chooses whether the torrent will support DHT or not.

Some tracker sites have rules requiring that posted torrents be created with the “private” flag, disallowing DHT and PEX, but that’s administrative, not technological. If a torrent were posted to such a site and allowed DHT, then DHT would work regardless of the tracker’s actions short of removing the torrent.
