About the Watchlist

Because dat is a peer-to-peer network, sometimes you'll try to browse to a dat which nobody is hosting. When this happens, Beaker will prompt you to add the site to your "watchlist."

Add to watchlist

Beaker will continue to search for the site. When the site is found, Beaker will let you know.
