JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

i don't think there's anything in the tracker protocols for them to relay anything dht-related. unless clients are set up to query each tracker as if it were also a dht node as a separate thing or whatever

i could have sworn I've seen trackers send information about the dht during normal torrent requests but idk for sure.

yeah i think that must be wrong and that the only thing a tracker might do wrt dht is set the private flag on uploaded torrents.
