KimVette, not all these the leaches might be leaches read below azureus has bugs beyond what appear as I said it’s a great client lousy server. and Will give false info regarding unploads . I use BitTorrent Beta 4.14 hence my bad download rate and I blamed my pour innocent firewall LOL! Thanks again for this wonderful torrent!
This is a quote below not spam! it was the only place that would state the problem nicely that azureus has not kept up with current protcalls of the offical build.
wich is a shame as it was my favorite client (still is) but it screws up as a server.and nearly got me kicked out of demonoids.as it just messes upload download ratiose .

What is DHT Netwrok?
DHT(Distributed Hash Table) is method of a distributed storage for <key,value> pairs. There is no center server in DHT Network, every client take charge of a small range of routing, a small set of data storage, so that in the whole DHT network, data can be found, read and write. The new version of BitComet can connect to Tracker and DHT network, that means file can be download even if all trackers can not be connected. The protocol of DHT Network in BitComet is compatible with BitTorrent Beta 4.1.2, so that they can share the same network.Please note that the DHT in Azureus is not compatible with BitTorrent Beta and thus also not compatible with BitComet.
The DHT algorithm we use is Kademlia ( called KAD in eMule, but the network protocol is different from bittorrent. ) You can find more about DHT network here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table
