DHT is active while "Search DHT network" is un-checked?

Hello OP, You are not alone with the observed behavior of BTsync. I'm running a Mac mini (OS X 10.8.4) on my LAN with Little Snitch, BTsync (tracker & relay server enabled) & µtorrent as bittorrent client. Every version of BTsync I downloaded from this forum (1.0.134 till current one) starts connecting to random machines once I start a download via µtorrent. Depending on the swarm size of the torrent my machine usually connects to other hosts every 2 - 7 secs. The locations of these remote machines range from same city to the other side of the planet. It seems there is some kind of "connection spill-over" from BTsync's tracker. However according to the debug logs none of those machines were ever connecting to my shared folders or directly exchanging data with the Mac mini. Neither my MacBooks nor my Linux machines show any of these random connections. None of them runs a bittorrent-client though. A complete scan with ClamXav reports my Mac mini as clean. Yv
