<h1>About</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0005.html">DHT</a> is a
|
|
|
|
|
powerful technology that enables "trackerless" torrents; however, there
|
|
|
|
|
are a number of reasons why a client may be unable to join the DHT swarm
|
|
|
|
|
such as local or ISP blocking. This server acts as a gateway to discover
|
|
|
|
|
clients that have announced to the DHT network, and provides a
|
|
|
|
|
tracker-compatible interface for ease of use.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h1>Usage</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
You will most likely want to add
|
|
|
|
|
<code>https://dht.terrible.network/fetch</code> to the list of trackers in
|
|
|
|
|
your torrent client.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to supporting "compact" representation
|
|
|
|
|
(<code>?compact=1</code>) this service also supports "json" representation
|
|
|
|
|
(<code>?json=1</code>) for ease of use in code.
|
|

<h1>FAQ</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>So is this just a BitTorrent tracker?</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
No. This server does not collect/store the information necessary to act as
|
|
|
|
|
a tracker (IP address, "port" parameter), it does not serve anything other
|
|
|
|
|
than information queried from the DHT.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Will this announce me to the DHT?</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
No. This server does not collect the information necessary to do so (IP
|
|
|
|
|
address), and it is technologically impossible to announce an IP other
|
|
|
|
|
than one owned by the machine speaking to the DHT swarm.
