Supporting public torrents (magnet links, UDP trackers, DHT)
------------
All you need to have these settings in the config to be able to handle public torrents - including magnet links, UDP trackers and `DHT <https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/Using-DHT>`_:
* change the 2 port settings to your liking
* TCP/UDP port for tracker communication
* UDP port for DHT
* don't forget to open / port forward the required ports / protocols in your firewall
* session directory must be defined for DHT to work !
* it's strongly advised to use `local DNS cache <https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/Performance-Tuning#local-dns-cache>`_
```ini
# Port range to use for listening. (port_range)
network.port_range.set = 62820-62820
# Enable/disable peer exchange for torrents that aren't marked private. Disabled by default. (peer_exchange)
protocol.pex.set = 1
# Set whether the client should try to connect to UDP trackers (It can cause various problems if it's enabled, if you experience any with this option enabled then disable it.)
trackers.use_udp.set = 1
# Enable DHT support for trackerless torrents or when all trackers are down.
# May be set to "disable" (completely disable DHT), "off" (do not start DHT),
# "auto" (start and stop DHT as needed), or "on" (start DHT immediately).
# The default is "off".
# For DHT to work, a session directory must be defined.
dht.mode.set = auto
# UDP port to use for DHT
dht.port.set = 62882
# Adding public DHT servers for easy bootstrapping
