Most home internet providers use Network Address Translation(NAT) to allow home users to connect as many devices to their router (also known as a modem or wireless unit) as they desire. NAT can also prevent direct connections from the public internet to your computer. Port forwarding tells your router or modem to ensure all requests made on a specific port reach a specific computer inside the NAT. Your BitTorrent client runs on a certain port on your computer (you can assign the port), and by forwarding this port, you make yourself more connectable to other computers. Using port forwarding for connectability increases the chances that your client will upload data to a peer who is leeching.

DHT

A Distributed Hash Table (DHT) is used by BitTorrent clients to obtain lists of peers without a centralized tracker (' . $SITENAME . ' has its own private tracker, as do other private tracker sites). Though DHT can make it quicker for you to leech data on public trackers, DHT is bad for private trackers because it allows peers who are not members of the private tracker to access the torrents on the tracker. DHT should be turned off in your torrent client. @@ -32,4 +32,4 @@ When creating torrents to upload to a private tracker, there is a box to “ newsbot(); include('publicfooter.php'); -?> \ No newline at end of file +?>
