Hi, is there a reason DHT functionality is disabled by default in Ktorrent? I have searched the Internet and didn't find any exploits or vulnerabilities for this feature. DHT speeds up torrent transfers when connection with the tracker is iffy. It is also important because it allows bittorret to function without relying so much on centralized trackers. Furthermore DHT is enabled by default in Deluge and in Vuze (former Azureus). Best regards Bart?omiej Gerlich ********************************************************* I used to use KTorrent but now use Deluge as it uses much less resource usage. And because I also now use Gnome and Deluge integrates into Gnome better than KDE based KTorrent. Anyway... In reference to DHT being enabled by default, yes, it's a pain in the neck and I could never understand also why it's not enabled by default. But unlike you, I never really thought to make the issue public. But with saying all this, upon install of KTorrent it really isn't hard to tick the checkbox in the options. And if it really does bother you, my suggestion would be to post on the KTorrent forums. I'm a member there and when I've posted a question, the KTorrent developer himself has replied well within 12 hours.
