thank god i'm not retarded and have to use DHT for torrents
>>1397254Many obscure and old content can only be found on DHT, not everyone just downloads the latest movie and gameslop.
https://paste.debian.net/hidden/b90eb3f5Also block31.200.249.0/24190.80.50.0/24195.191.244.0/24Address rotation rate seems to be about 150-250 a month, the list will get outdated after some time.Not only you help yourself, you help others to keep DHT alive.
>>1397255>>1397254dafaq is DHT
>>1397592basically a table of torrents on public trackers. Allows you to find torrents without using specific trackers.
>>1397615Why gatekeep it then? Couln't a tracker just copy the magnets?
>no tl;dr about what DHT is>no tl;dr about how it is under attack>no tl;dr about why we should care>dead /g/ link>text dump of over 12k characters that we should surf to and read because why exactly?This useless thread killed a thread for no benefit what-so-ever, and you're useless too OP. You can't "spread the word" for shit.
>>1398136> he posts in /t/ without even knowing what DHT is> he is mortally afraid of reading, even just a Wikipedia article> he does not know that archives exist, and does not know how to use them> he does not understand that this thread only brought attention to the initial one> GRUG FEED SPOON! GRUG FEED SPOON!Well, why not. First, readhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_tableand check the links and references for something you don't get. Then go tohttps://desuarchive.org/g/thread/108570296/and read the papers in .pdf linked there, they also provide decent explanations. Then read the thread itself to learn what is happening.At the moment, about 300 nodes try to introduce themselves into everyone's tables to poison them, and roughly the same amount of nodes pretend to surround the torrent hashes and node IDs to suppress announces of real peers.

>>1398611You don't want the outdated addresses anyway.https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/66c4d10962de
>>1398625How are these IP addresses even discovered?Thanks for this anyway anon. For some reason, when I add these addresses to my Qbittorrent .dat blocklist, it won't accept them. I don't know why, but Qbittorrent will only accept lines that conform to the following format:>192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.1Note how the address must appear twice, with a hyphen in between. I'm guessing that Qbittorrent views them as IP ranges.I'm making this post in case anyone else is having this same issue, as there is a very easy workaround. Don't spend a gorillion hours copy-pasting each line over and over again. Instead, use the GNU core utilities for their intended purpose: To make everyday tasks easier.>First, copy-paste the IP addresses from that opensuse paste into a file called blocklist_1.dat.>Then use the following command to create a file called blocklist_2.dat.> ~$ cat blocklist_1.dat | while read line; do echo "$line" - "$line"; done > blocklist_2.datYou should be able to see that blocklist_2.dat is exactly the same as blocklist_1.dat, except every line will contain each IP address twice, with a hyphen in between. Now it can be appended to your main Qbittorrent blocklist file.You could also use sed or awk for this, but I'm too dumb to know how to use those to be honest.
>>1398715> How are these IP addresses even discovered?Check the archived /g/ thread. Nodes that send us fake IDs that are way too close to our ID go to the cart (probability of that happening by accident is effectively zero).
>>1398715https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/794202169f10I made one for windows users, is the formatting correct?>you can use sedI used an LLM and 60watts do it for me
>>1397592Distributed Hast Table - it's literally how the entire torrent network works, and is makes it indestructible and self healing.Read about it on Wikipedia.You can ignore it , bypass it, by using trackers.It's how everything connects without/before trackers.Almost all clients, actually have DHT bootstrap connection addresses to servers built into them.You can look up documentation about your specific client, and find out what the hard-coded DHT jump servers are.AI can explain it better than me.>qBittorrent uses the libtorrent backend, which includes hardcoded bootstrap nodes such as:>dht.libtorrent.org:25401>router.bittorrent.com:6881>router.utorrent.com:6881>router.bitcomet.com:6881>dht.transmissionbt.com:6881>dht.aelitis.com:6881
>>1399052> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/794202169f10>is the formatting correct?Looks good to me.>I used an LLMAI is a poor replacement for knowing how to use computers properly, anon. Pic semi-related.
>>1399089I am the caveman grug in this case tho, I can maul that guy to death
