Hey I've got a question... I heard someting about a hashcode that every provider gives to his users. Does utorrent use this Hashcode and send it to a tracker if you connect to it?? what information can a tracker get about an user (from utorrent).

thx

uTorrent has a PEER ID. Usually identifier tag, plus (random) characters to create a unique signature so you can be you, on the tracker (if you have an account or need "registration"). You send more data every announce, if you need peers and/or to submit transfer statistics.

Dunno about the provider hashcode you mention but uTorrent doesn't use any external source to identify you.

is it possible to indentify a computer about the PEER ID? so if i Download something on a tracker the tracker gets a PEER ID from me... if i download something (same Computer and same internet account) a few days later, is the ID still the same?
