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