when the CentOS tracker was down, I fired up uTorrent on a Windows box
w/ the 5.1 i386 dvd torrent, and it managed to find a few dozen peers
in a few minutes...
Still blissful (ignorance is ...), hit me with a clue bat if I'm way off
base here.
Now, that makes sense (IIUC the implications of all I've read and what
y'all have posted). You had already been successfully connected and
acquired the DHT during previous sessions. I can guess that this would
be used in place of an (un?)available tracker.
last thing I'd torrented off centos was 5.0 prior to this... Not sure
that would have any impact on hooking up with DHT on a different torrent
(but, I freely admit, I haven't the vaguest clue how the DHT actually
hooks up and finds the initial peers)
