kluelos Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Is your problem that DHT isn't connecting, or is there something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desserts Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Is your problem that DHT isn't connecting, or is there something else? DHT is not connecting at all..and i don't know how to make it connect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSTREM Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Go to: Options >> Preferences >> Connection >> Enable DHT network. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desserts Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Go to: Options >> Preferences >> Connection >> Enable DHT network. :) yes,it is enabled but still it couldn't connect..I don't know why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 dht is a secondary tracker and can only be used if the tracker allows dht, and some of the peers enabled dht. I suggest you read here to learn more about bit torrent protocall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSTREM Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Suspect: NO, DHT is NOT a tracker. It's a trackerLESS network, therefore there is no tracker, and that's what makes DHT to wonderfull. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 The way that DHT is commonly used so far, it is merely supplemental -- it will find more peers for a torrent. That's good, but it's definitely not necessary. Most of the time, you'll get all the peers you need from the list the tracker sends. You can get along just fine without having DHT connected. That said, the connection failure is a problem that should be solved. It's often caused by blocking UDP traffic on the listen port, which is usually a firewall issue. DHT was created so torrents wouldn't require a tracker. The idea was that you could distribute a torrent from, say, a blog, without having to set up an additional web server, tracker, database &c. Unfortunately this hasn't ever quite worked out in practice, and there are two incompatible implementations of DHT floating around out there. That latter is hopefully soon to be fixed. You don't need DHT. It's nice to have, and a good thing, but you don't need it. You should try to get it working someday, after you've got a little more knowledge and experience.

It's a trackerLESS network, therefore there is no tracker, and that's what makes DHT to wonderfull. :) DHT (distributed hash table) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table is used by peers so each peer operates as a tracker. This is an alternate way of tracking a torrent (very useful if the tracking web site is not working) I was correct in saying that dht is an alternate way of tracking a torrent. But this happened all sudden...usually it works...js dunno why now... If dht doesn't work with some torrents, it could be that the torrent does not allow dht. Many private trackers don't enable dht, and will disable your dht connections to comply with bit torrent protocall. If this only happens with some torrents, then its likely not a problem.

Suspect the thing is,i donwloaded most of the shows almost finish and suddenly it's off.i thought it's just awhile but it takes forever to get it connected.even now,my bitcomet ain't uploading nor downloading at all for the past 6 days...i'm in dilemma.... :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
