dht should be disabled.

DHT is: Distributed hash tables (DHTs) are a class of decentralized distributed systems that partition ownership of a set of keys among participating nodes, and can efficiently route messages to the unique owner of any given key. Each node is analogous to an array slot in a hash table. DHTs are typically designed to scale to large numbers of nodes and to handle continual node arrivals and failures, by constructing a structured overlay network in which each participating node needs to communicate with only a small fraction of the other nodes. This infrastructure can be used to build more complex services, such as distributed file systems, peer-to-peer file sharing systems, cooperative web caching, multicast, anycast, domain name services, and instant messaging.

a port range within the region 49152 through 65535 is preferable.
