Except that DHT is designed to allow the leacher to "find" the seeder through the DHT... It is possible that there are multiple disjoint DHTs out there, but I would imagine it is hard to keep them from merging together...

I also see the occasional d/l, but I don't use a tracker anymore, just DHT... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
