10 Tips and Tricks for Private BitTorrent Sites

thanks to the guide as i was just introduced to this. I was wondering if the guide is still current and the accepted protocol for torrenting? Will the DHT and peer thing affect public trackers like piratebay?

Certainly. In fact, The Pirate Bay's tracker ceased to exist some years ago because DHT and PEX could replace it quite well.

really a helpful guide thanks for sharing

All good advice that remains valid to this day, with the exception of the "disable DHT" myth. Private torrents are flagged as such, and all modern clients will forcibly disable DHT and PEX for them. The only reason to turn them off by hand is if you don't have any public torrents at all and therefore no need whatsoever for those features.

The article does, however, downplay the importance of permaseeding and doesn't mention cross-seeding at all, even though they're both highly recommended and effective.
