I have qbittorent 2.8.4 on a ubuntu 11.10 machine
I have bitcomet 1.2.9 on a vista machine
Everything's fine since the lights are all green (ports tcp & udp open in router, connection online, etc.) and I can download any other torrent, but no magnet link...
It seems the DHT doesnt work with magnet link on both machine...
It sounds like a file, from Thepiratebay for example.
Some stupid people tend to create PRIVATE torrents (for a public tracker), and upload it there.
Which means, DHT _will_ be disabled, and only trackers can be used. But ever since they changed to magnet links, you just can't connect to such torrents, hence DHT is disabled, you won't be able to download the .torrent file itself. So the download won't start at all.
what seems strange to me is that I have the prbl even with server like btdigg which proposes only magnet links...
and a lot of them are very popular (and non private)...

okay here is a solution if anyone needs :
in tools options bittorrent privacy :
enable "use a different port for dht and bittorrent"
restart
even if it is the same port it'll work

Confirm that this is a solution for stalled torrents obtained from magnet links.
I've often saw "stalled" torrents with qbittorrent when downloading from thepiratebay.

Well, I was wrong about this.
Enabling different ports actually has nothing to do with this issue, it's restarting that forced client to recheck peers list or something like this.
As consequence this somehow breaks udp trackers too, if DHT is 0 nodes... as it is when it runs for a while with no active torrents, udp trackers never connect. Restart program, same udp tracker works straight away.
