I have a torrent loaded whose tracker's uri is in the form of dht://longhashcode.dht/announce

The status of the tracker is (translated from portuguese): It was not possible to create the process It was not possible to create the io-slave: klauncher said: unknown protocol 'dht'. .

I compiled ktorrent from the net-p2p/ktorrent-2.1 ebuild in Gentoo.

Is there anything I might have missed?

Interesting, that's the first time I have heard of dht stuff in announce URL's. We currently don't support this. Can you point me to a torrent with these kind of announce URL's ?

Sure, here is it: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ilog1s

I'm not sure this is officially supported protocol... Actually, I'm sure it isn't but can you tell me does Azureus or other torrent clients support this kind of announce url's?

Dunno, but I might install them (maybe just Azureus and utorrent) and try.

It seems the torrent was created by azureus 3.0.
