Does anyone know how utorrent implements the "vote" system over the DHT?

I looked online but there is next to nothing about it.

Some information: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/bittorrent/2011-January/002413.html

You get a message something like this: { a: { id: '907050177fb05376db71ce066663819503eb0a9a', target: '546d6d0e5aacfae66299f26a300a428c497b23b5', token: '5b3f3de3d4f5ba42721dac14b2076dc64bc829da', vote: 0 }, q: 'vote', t: '+=\u0000\u0000', v: 'UT??', y: 'q' }

The only thing I dont get it the target They say its sha1(info-hash + "rating") but i dont know. So the rating 1-5 and 0 been the query for votes. So if a infohash has 5 votes ranging from 1 to 5 would you receive 5 responses?

Has anyone played around with this?
