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

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

      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?
