Many people seem to be having problems with this even though the question has been answered in the forums a few times already, so I thought this guide could be useful to some people.
What you need to do if you have the DHT network enabled is to disable it (of course). To do that open up BitComet, choose Options --> Preferences. In the window that appears, click on Advanced and then uncheck the Add DHT network as backup tracker checkbox.
Then you also have to go to Connection (the one that is under Advanced) and uncheck the Enable DHT Network checkbox.
Then you just have to restart your client and hope that some of your problems have been solved.

Hehe, good someone did this guide for these who do not know how to disable it. There's one thing, tho. It's not "tools" it's "Options". Not a big deal, but. :]
Thank you anyway!

Would you mind explaining (to me) what the DHT feature is? Because I have not the slightest clue of why to disable it...
Thank you.

i think it's a way to get more peers, without the tracker ... for example if the tracker is down u can still share between peers with the dht network enabled ... i dun think it's needed for torrentbytes though since the tracker is never down and it can't be used 'cause torrentbytes torrent files have banned this function because of the ratio .... anyway correct me if i'm wrong

DHT feature means that people from no ratio torrent sites can leech from you when you're seeding on a private tracker.

DHT = trackerless seeding/leeching, it's best to disable it if you're on a site where uploaded stats matters, because the data you send to people outside the tracker won't be added to the stats.
@ Akademien: I changed Tools to Options now, I never remember which one it is

in bitcomet 0.59, it seems to be disabled automatically for private torrents.. with a (Private Torrent) message beside it..

It wasn't disabled for me, and how would BitComet know if it's a private tracker or not?

Removing DHT from torrents you create
Disabling this feature will completely stop the use of DHT in a torrent you create
Open Bitcomet
Click File
Create torrent, and then do the following
This will stop the use of the DHT network in your upload

Miyavi this guide is meant for users who download torrents and want to disable it, not for those who upload them and want to disable it, but thanks for that anyway perhaps some uploader will have some use for it.

hey man, sorry i thought i posted a quote also
i ment to say
if an uploader does what i posted then it would be disabled in torrents which is probably what pants9999 is experiancing

What are the benefits of disabling DHT? Is it still worth using on old torrents from other sites? Also, is there a way to set it just as a backup in case there are no seeders to download from?

I do use DHT very occasionally on public trackers if its a slow torrent or no seeders but i stop all torrents running apart from the one i want to use DHT for.
Once downloaded, i disable ALL of the DHT functions and seed as normal. I'm using Azureus though (see above tutorial).

Got it, thanks for clearing that up for me.
I use Azureus as well, is there a way I can set it so that it only uses DHT when it can't connect to the tracker or there are no seeders?

with DHT tracker, you can download even with wait times, if others use DHT network. i wouldnt use DHT network for seeding

Just a little add-on to this guide: If you want to have DHT network enabled by default (e.g. if you're downloading much from public trackers and want to get better speeds), but you also use private trackers like TB sometimes too and just want to disable DHT on those torrents, do like this:
When you've opened a torrent-file in BitComet and started downloading it, right-click it and select Properties. Then switch over to the Advanced tab and uncheck the Enable Public DHT Network and Enable Peer Exchange, that way you can seed and leech from private trackers without losing stats and also seed and leech from public trackers and get better download speeds than normal.

Good idea! To do this in Azureus you just have to right click and go to advanced-->peer sources-->from a tracker so that you only download and seed from the torrentbytes tracker.

I think most clients send overall amount of uploaded\downloaded data to all the trackers,they are connected to on particular torrent.Thus the data,they send\receive to\from peers obtained thru DHT is also included in stats,they send to tracker,provided,of course,they are connected to any tracker.

I'm not an expert on this subject but everywhere I've read I've read that the data you send to people outside the tracker won't be counted, and why would it? The TB tracker counts the amount of data you send thru it to other users, it can't count the amount data you send via the DHT network 'cause it doesn't go via the tracker then. I don't know if that's how it works but it sounds OK to me.

I always thought that the tracker updates with the amount your client says in that session...no matter where it gets uploaded to

Green you may be right, I don't know very much about trackers and stuff. But, the client you use will only report to the tracker the amount of data that has been uploaded to peers from the tracker, not the data that has been uploaded to people on the DHT network, that's why you lose potential stats with DHT enabled.

I thought bitcomet just see's it as one big swarm and takes all those stats to the tracker regardless but I could be wrong mate.

No if you click on the Trackers tab you'll see the TB announce URL and how many peers the tracker returned, under that it says DHT Network and how many peers it returned, so BitComet knows if the peer it uploads to is from the tracker or from the DHT.

You don't send actual data thru regular tracker or DHT tracker.You only send REPORT to tracker about overall amount of data uploaded\downloaded and some other stuff concerning this very torrent.The torrent is defined by info-hash.If you have peers,that belong to the swarm for this very torrent,connected to you,it doesn't matter for the client,where you got them ( thru regular tracker,thru DHT or any other means).All the data flow,passed thru your client, for the swarm,defined by unique info-hash ,is counted and reports are sent accordingly.
