AFAIK, there is nothing special about it, nothing to add. A DHT aware 
client just connects to other DHT clients and these again other clients to 
find those clients that have the torrent or parts of it available. It just 
works - if there are clients that already have the file and got it with the 
same torrent file, so the hash matches.
