DHT (distributed hash table)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table

a secondary method of tracking torrent

This is only used if the torrents tracker permits it, and you, and at least one other peer enable it.

I have the exact same problem. but I haven’t found an answer anywhere… and I don’t know how to connect it..

DHT will NOT connect unless it is needed

This technology is only a backup method of tracking the torrent

Its either your router, firewall, or connection(ISP). Usually it is your firewall. What firewall are yo using? Does it allow BC to send/receive UDP connections?
