Thanks to whoever posted this on reddit. I hope other clients detect and blocking it.

If it's spoofing them, its going to be more effort than it's worth to actually detect that client. I strongly recommend you to delete this post or you're gonna cause a massive Streissand Effect

Seriously I didn't even know about Stremio up until now

Seems to be a good app if you pair it with Real Debrid. Good UI, good platform support, very popular. I just don't want it wasting my seeding bandwidth.

There are more ways to detect than peer ID.

This client is already extremely popular. Before the spoofing update, it's mis-identified as TorrentStorm 0.0.0.8 in qBittorrent. It makes up half the peers on a lot of my torrents. Have you checked?

That. Is. Hilarious. I always block anyone that pops up as torrent storm since I never get any data from people on that service

Me, using a private tracker: Nope, don’t see them.

Lemmy is not any where big enough of a platform to cause any noticeable Streissand Effect let alone a "massive" one

[-] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Lmao. Lemmy's active users isn't even 1% of people pirating.
