If I remember correctly, it's not compatible with normal BitTorrent software, keeping Linux users from being able to download. A conventional torrent would be fully cross platform though.

Do you happen to know if the Transmission bittorrent client should/would be compatible to the trackerless torrent, kindly provided by ispyisail ?

I know the copy of transmission on my router works well with torrents that don't have any working trackers left when DHT is enabled, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
