*spoofing abilities since 2008 (to prevent unknown client ban) uTorrent, Vuze, KTorrent

We'd need to check how good they are. There are a lot of factors involved in spoofing another client.

BitSpirit has an spoofing function too, but its bad coding is beyond description.

interesting. gonna give that a try

ok, looks like it has only one option: spoof ut on or off.
rest of the options are quite similar to ut.

the main thing is to test the the spoof tho ...

Pass me a few sniffed announces via PM.

of course i will if i have the time

Looks interesting.And it can spoof utorrent.Cool.But is it faster than utorrent like bitcomet is for example?Or what other advantages does it have to make me change to it,besides the fact that i get bored fast with clients?

I thinks that's enough for a first impression.You will never know till you try it for yourself.

i might be able to do the same with it as i did with transmission (windows port) but i doubt it'd be worth it

It's basically a utorrent like client for linux users.Windoze and mac user have the native client.No need for a port.

Nice, but it isn't clear whether this only spoofs clients to the tracker or the tracker and peers.

Either way, it doesn't have code for uTorrent's peer_id algorithm, so in the latter case others would see you as [FAKE].

There are other versions too.Vuze and bit tornado.

Vuze has its extended messaging protocol so the same would apply.

Now, BitTornado...

Now, BitTornado...

Enlighten me my master.
