| 1254571 | 2012-01-16 19:53:00 | Dear all, I've been reading up on magnet links over the past hour and I'm wondering - where does DHT (Distributed hash table) get stored? Thanks |

| 1254572 | 2012-01-16 20:51:00 | My own un-researched belief is that DHT gets stored on each users computer. Once you locate a peer you share DHT contents, and the 'tree' of peers grows. Despite it being promoted as a means for tracker-less P2P, I think an initial contact with a tracker is needed to get the process started. ie, the tracker gives you your first peer(s). From there your peers share their peers, and the tracker becomes redundant for the rest of your file transfer. Might all be a load of bollox - as I said - un-researched belief. |

What I am more interested to know is the mechanism behind how magnet links work; I am not trying to find it out for the sake of downloading content without being caught by the authority. Cheers :) |

| 1254577 | 2012-01-17 09:04:00 | Doesn't address DHT specifically :( Do a google search on magnet links, and theres plenty to explain it all -- in other words -- sit down with your favorite beverage, and start reading :p bittorrents-future-dht-pex-and-magnet-links-explained (lifehacker.com) Most articles have links to other places explaining anything you may want on a specific section / subject. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1254578 | 2012-01-17 09:22:00 | Princeton and Standard Universities have research papers (www.google.co.nz) on DHT. Maybe look for infographics in Google Images (www.google.co.nz) for easier overview. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
