Odd. I looked at the description on the main page, and it lists eDonkey, BitTorrent, and Gnutella, but not any kind of direct file transfer.

Am I missing something?

Does the magnet link work without DifTracker? Because that's still a centralized system.

yes, the tracker is optional. the built in torrent client supports BEP 5.
