Vike Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 There are 3 people I'm connected to using fake Bitspirit. Should I put them in my Ipfilter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Up to your discretion. IMHO, blocking people just because they fake clientids, no matter how suspicious, is not grounds enough to block them, but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 indeed, using a fake clientid could just mean that was the first client they run into, doesnt mean anything really... now if u start seeing odd behaviours from then, thats the time to add 'em to the ipfilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 my opinion;if you have more then a handfull of azureus or µT clients you can upload to I would kill those [fake]s and BitComets on sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Personally, I ignore them myself unless they say fake µTorrent v1.6 (latest version currently)...then I ban them quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebReaper Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I've never banned anyone, and never had any problems. Are you people so bored you sit there and watch the peer list constantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 as i said "on sight" unfortunately it is not possible to change the focus while playing µTris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vike Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Dude sometimes I stare at the peers tab for a really long time lol Yes I am that bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 It bothers me that µTorrent has been banned from private sites for cheating/bad behavior only later to discover it was fake µTorrent clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebReaper Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Don't let it bother you. The very nature of the torrent community (and over-zealous banning on private trackers) means this will always happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 in that case where µT is banned on private tracker this private tracker is not worth to be member of. Oviously the guys in charge of that tracker are morons if they have a generall µT ban!Move along to sites with a lower "moronmasters in charge" factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vike Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Ive seen on one torrent site they are just banning utorrent 1.5 because I guess it's possible to cheat with that version or something? I dont know, but they recommended people to upgrade to 1.6 if they still want to use utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Not that I know of. Most of the time, they just force people to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoil hatter Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Why kill bitcomet? It seems like a nice friendly client with things to share. I did run across a link that stated that it tended to do things like hit trackers very hard, show favoritism to other comet users and had some sort of bug thing. The reply was that allegedly the new version doesn't do any of these things. Is there another reason to avoid bitcomet?Merged double post(s):fake clients? Please to expand on this. What are they and why would someone use such a thing?EDIT by silverfire: The edit function exists for a reason. Double posting instead of editing is negligent and unnecessary.REPLY by Tinfoil Hatter: They were two different questions, so since I thought it likely that someone would want to reply to only one. As such I thought it might be more convenient to separate them. Unnecessary I will take, but I question negligent. It was done deliberately, and seemed fairly harmless to me. If that is not how it is done here I will of course refrain however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtec666 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 my opinion;if you have more then a handfull of azureus or µT clients you can upload to I would kill those [fake]s and BitComets on sight!Nope because there's lots of Azureus leecher mods. And I would not ban BitComet in 81.226.xx or 213.112-114 range Swedish fast lines (damn n00b )in that case where µT is banned on private tracker this private tracker is not worth to be member of.Actually there is sort of it has to do with the easiness of "cheating" a private tracker. That's real easy with uTorrent and Azureus, but not with ol' BitTornado (OK for the real techies ol' BitTornado should be easy to) My quote:I rather ban all Germans on uTorrent (or insert x client) than all Swedes on BitComet (or insert x client)The fanboyism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
