li-yin Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 thanks, but I still can't figue out the problem! =_= I've read the article and still have no clue! *maybe it's just me* The torrents I'm trying to download have seeders. And have been downloaded by 4288 other people. what wrong with me? Still sayd DHT not connected. (feeling abit thick right now, it's probably something quite obivous, thatI can't figue out =_=) PLEASE HELP ME! edit: I've been reading around, and have found out it may be the tracker, I'm connecting to. but I'm not entirely sure. [The icon means that the tracker(s) you're connecting to is currently unavailable, or you do not have any trackers specified in that particular torrent download.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluelos Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 DHT is a means for finding additional peers, which does not depend on the tracker to supply a list. Most of the time, for most torrents, it's not necessary. Some torrents and trackers explicitly block it. But basically, you don't need it to successfully download most torrents most of the time, and you can ignore it, or simply disable it in your preferences. If you want to worry about it at some future time, the issue is probably because your firewall's blocking UDP on your listen port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
