Re: Phantom Peers

If a user doesn't create the torrent as a private user, and you have DHT on in your torrent client, then you may connect to other users and bypass the tracker thus they don't show up on the list and never show up as completes. This is why we recommend creating the torrent as 'private' and turning DHT off.
