Re: Phantom Peers

Thanks for the suggestion Lynne, I just double-checked and both "Enable DHT Network" and "Enable DHT for New Torrents" are not checked (Both are OFF). I am running the latest µTorrent beta build so maybe there is an issue with that.

Been meaning to switch to OneSwarm and integrate a normally-closed (W)IPFW script anyways...still this a good reminder for us all that there are rogue leachers out there

This is why we recommend creating the torrent as 'private' and turning DHT off.
