It just sucks that the ratings are only going to come from lousy utorrent. Since I use Tixati, which is way better than utorrent, I guess I can’t vote, oh well. I’m definitely not switching clients. Tixati’s got searching capabilities and now has audio/video streaming capabilities. I think I’ll stay with Tixati.

If it was, then its search results wouldn’t be so crappy. Tribler’s search functionality is based on a gossip protocol.

The DHT (BEP5) and magnet links (BEP9) were added as bittorrent enhancements in January 2008. Both the DHT and magnet links have existed since 2002 though.

because there is no central coordination.

BTDigg is *not* the DHT, it is a single, centralized service which happens to use the standard BitTorrent DHT network. When btdigg.org goes down, you *cannot* use BTDigg to search for torrents. Therefore BTDigg is not decentralized, even though the DHT is decentralized. Tell me how you can search the DHT if BTDigg goes down?

It sounds the same as to shut down every dht/bittorrent client. If something happened and btdigg.org shut down there would be changed nothing, because data was dynamically formed by DHT users, the next day btdigg.org would appear as usual. And this is key feature of BTDigg’s decentralization. If you damaged any tracker all the data from it would be lost and backup would be the only way to restore.

That’s what I mean by centralized. It’s a centralized service.

It sounded the same as you would said that each DHT client would centralize network.
