Sorry guys but i'm giving up on KTorrent. Its DHT functionality is terribly broken that it never goes on on my SUSE 10.1 with KDE 3.5.4. I'm going back to Azureus, sorry George/Ivan

As one could read in some other topic, its DHT functionality is "terribly broken" on SUSE because it's disabled by SUSE devs.

I've compiled the latest release of KT and DHT still doesn't work

Can you post the log file, of a session with DHT enabled (make sure you have the DHT port forwarded if you are behind a router) :

~/.kde/share/apps:ktorrent/log

OK, i've recompiled KT again and now DHT works, but the problem now is that it always stays on 0 nodes/tasks

You have to connect to a peer which supports DHT to get DHT nodes.
