magnetico == DoS on DHT

[fonic]

Are you aware that your tool in its current state essentially performs a DoS attack on the DHT? DHT was never meant to handle those kind of loads. You should either change the default settings as quickly as possible or stop releasing until you have implemented a fully functional bandwidth limiter.

Does it, though? How do you know?

Strange claim; There are numerous other DHT crawlers doing considerably more polling of the BitTorrent DHT, & yet I've never experienced a DHT related issue when using a DHT enabled torrent client.

I will point out that if this is a genuine concern, then having each magneticod instance fetch already crawled torrents from other instances via a dedicated secondary DHT would greatly alleviate any redundant effort. I do find it unfortunate that magneticod doesn't currently have any way of sharing the DB as a secondary DHT.
