How to make KTorrent (v. 2.2.2) download ONLY from a DHT, and upload - ONLY through tracker?

(Sorry for my bad English )

That is not possible, KT will not look at where it gets the peers from, it downloads and uploads to all of them.

I would very much like the ability to delete/change trackers that are embedded into the .torrent file, since that information is sometimes out of date and/or just plain wrong.

Is it possible to appear this function in next versions or as a plugin?

Why would you wanna do this?

No, it's against the protocol.

btype will allow you to remove trackers http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.ph ... tent=25051

You will need to install the kdelibs4-dev package to compile it


When Comcast was hitting us hard with Sanguine, I found that not using a public tracker but only using DHT helped. I would use btype to see what trackers I needed to block then put them in my hosts file like this:
127.0.1.1 torrent.ubuntu.com

that and using only encrypted connections would allow me to seed, but these days Comcast has not been hitting me much with Sanguine so I have the lines commented out.

btremake from bttools can do this at a minimal level.
It is a PERL script so it should run on any unix-like system with perl installed.
