Mandatory support for DHT?

Users may discard the HTTP tracker URL, making it necessary to actively publish the prittorrent seeder's address. Unfortunately, regular announces for a lot of Torrents incur increasing DHT traffic.

Two possible options:

• Traffic optionally paid by podcasters?
• Have someone sponsor a server with an UDP traffic flat-rate :-)

Please raise your voice if you have doubts regarding to what this will do to the global BitTorrent DHT.
