"Magnet Links" use DHT - Load uTorrent, click ADD URL button and punch it in and see what happens... it's neat how it figures it out. Click on trackers tab while downloading and you'll see NO trackers listed. Of course the more popular a file is the quicker it will "discover" the information and begin download.

This is why regular people don't want to be bothered with torrents, it can be confusing.

DHT only works on public trackers though.
