I can't say I've noticed this, and I'm a little surprised DNS gets much use in bittorrent at all, is the client doing rDNS on peers or something?



Essentially, yes. It's basically looking up the PTR records. If you look at the UI, you'll see them listed in the peer list.


Probably just resolving tracker IPs.
