PEX on the other hand, the user you are connected to is asked who they are connected to, and on down the line. This is where it gets good, with DHT, it's at this point in time, impossible to see how many files you're sharing, or what they are.Īs long as you're using a DHT-capable torrent application which knows one node in the cloud where the file you want resides, you're connected and able to download.
Anti-piracy advocates have for a while now, gone after those centralized sites, attempting to sever the head of torrents and file sharing. TPB have been using magnet links with torrent files for a while now, without letting any of its users know.ĭHT and PEX are "trackerless" technologies, where as torrents can be tracked back, as there is a centralized list kept by torrent websites to track files existing in the cloud. TPB has already switched over to the underlying technology that runs alongside magnet links, with Distributed Hash Table (DHT) and Peer Exchange (PEX).
This new move is what The Pirate Bay calls a "new future" in file sharing, consisting of true peer-to-peer sharing without the use of trackers. The Pirate Bay is one of the largest torrent-hosting sites on the Internet, and in a month from now, will remove all torrent files from its site, in favor for magnet links.
