DHT is "Distributed Hash Table". It's used for trackerless torrents.

Azureus recently (well, not THAT recently, like 4 or 5 months ago) rolled distributed tracking into the main azureus client. That's what you're on there, with its crappy 2 peers apparently.

Distributed tracking is a good idea for things that you'd worry about ... like distributing documents detailing a despot's despotism in the country you live in, or downloading the latest hollywood release while avoiding a horribly short-lived single tracker. However, it's not very good for the anime community, and I'd highly recommend disabling it.

It looks like the first torrent in question is, in fact, running on the distributed tracker. The info hash is different than the hash that gotwoot's tracking for the same thing, so gotwoot tracker doesn't know what the hell that file is, and is thus rejecting it. I'd strongly urge you to disable distributed tracking in preferences, and to re-download the torrent and attempt to resume it from the tracker that's actually tracking it.

thank u for that reply was able 2 get that crazy tracker to go away wha i did was right click on the tracker and clicked edit...and what i saw was a big list of a bunch of trackers..so i deleted them all and left the one gotwoot tracker i thought i would be able to download but then this started i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

since this is the offical tracker website (i think) would i be able to get any info if it was removed from or list of torrents or is that a problem from my side...i downloaded same torrent couple times thinking maybe there was an updated one but dosent seem to be the case

right right, but that torrent's got the wrong info hash too.

I'd recommend deleting the torrent (but not the data!) and re-downloading it. I think you should be able to resume against your current files, assuming they're named correctly.

Your "hash" field should be 18CD6BCA4904E5FAC302FC112A6814AD678A0941 . If it's anything else, the tracker will reject it, and it wouldn't find peers even if the tracker didn't reject it.
