Hello, an amateur here.
My torrent is not public, but private (i modified the torrent file by removing the private tracker and adding a few public ones instead).
I copied the magnet link that include these trackers in the magnet link parameters.
Would that be enough so people start downloading?
If the magnet link has no trackers in its parameters, then the torrent meta data downloading will relly on DHT which is disabled for all private torrents?

Thank you

Sorry but I do not understand what your asking? 1, if you have removed all the public trackers (this means you downloaded it in the first place from an open tracker? 2, you do not normally get magnet links from a private tracker and yes you would have DHT disabled when using a private tracker..
