Why Is It Important To Disable DHT
If you have enabled DHT you could be uploading to people who don't even have access to the site so you won't be receiving the proper credit for your uploads & downloads. You will be sharing data out of the tracker and those ghost peers will be using your bandwidth to download from you.
Yes, you are forced now to re-download your torrents from the site, if you didn't create the torrent file properly but there is another problem with DHT, it opens way too many connections to your computer and it could cause many problems ... for example your router could run out of memory and freeze often, or your connection becomes very slowly.
One of the first processes that fails is DNS relay, which is why existing connections continue to work but new connections, like web browsing, starts failing.
In uTorrent:
