A WARNING ABOUT DHT

Be sure DHT is disabled in your torrent client. DHT poses both a security risk and stat inconsistencies which can over inflate your stats and flag your account as a cheater. Those found to be running their client with DHT enabled may be banned.

How to disable DHT

I believe DHT also broadcasts torrents at large, making them available to non members of "private" trackers. Allowing people to leech without having to seed to the community.
