docs(readme): correct DHT support claim#37
Merged
Conversation
DHT is implemented (src/DHT/DHTServer.py) and enabled by default (--dht default=True in Config.py). SiteAnnouncer.announceDHT() runs alongside tracker announces, and the DHT bootstraps from hardcoded public mainline DHT routers so it works without any tracker config. Removes "No DHT support" from Current Limitations and adds a DHT bullet under Core Features so the README matches reality. Fixes #28
