is turned off because it can't be anonymized (UDP can't traverse a SOCKS5/Tor tunnel), so leaving it on would broadcast your IP and silently break the privacy guarantee the proxy/Tor mode exists to provide.
Could maybe do something like https://github.com/mullvad/udp-over-tcp through a set of tor hidden services.
yeah but why? too complicated! jsut announce the IP over nostr and sleep well :)
DHT is genious way to make truly decentralized, infinitely scalable and most importantly, extremely efficient index. Very rarely someone finds genious solutions like this.
It works in theory not practice, trackers are still a thing all these years later because DHT is slow and unreliable.
It does work in practice. Almost everything I download is via magnet links without tracker.
Magnet links usually have a tracker embedded (because DHT blows ass)
Unless you're stripping those out or disabling trackers in your client I assure you that you're using trackers and not DHT most if not all of the time.
I have used bittorrent to share files with friends. Manually created torrent. No trackers. Works. What client are you using?
Sounds good, feel free to add it under a flag if you want it. This is the nice thing of open source
I have nothing wrong with your point of view
Why turn off DHT?
