Fake client ID?

[ubnet]

Hi

I have Deluge running on a debian system.
Currently I try to find a solution for my problem: My favorite tracker is blocking Deluge.

Is there a possibility to fake the client-id that it seems to be a uTorrent (is not blocked by the tracker) with a specific version?
I tried to find it in the code but until now without success...

Many thanks for your Help

faking a client id would be a fast way to get banned.
do you know why they're blocking deluge?
getting deluge unblocked would be the best solution.

I really don't know, they are very restrtictive...
As far i know they just allow uTorrent above 1.6.0 and Azureus. All others are blocked.

Think i got it:
In core.py line 165 change to: fingerprint = lt.fingerprint("UT", 1,6,1,0)
for uTorrent version 1.6.1

I found out why they're blocking deluge:
It seems that deluge is able to "fake" the ratio of the tracker.

Is that the case?

no, it hasn't been the case for a long time.
ratio is done by libtorrent, so even when deluge was displaying an incorrect ratio it was still sending a correct ratio.

So if this is the case the information given by the tracker admin seems to be wrong.

Maybe I can contact the admin from the tracker and ask for a detailed explenation. Hopefully they will allow Deluge in the future. Is there someone who take care about unblocking Deluge on private trackers?

For such a discussion I don't have the technical knowledge about Deluge. But let's see if I get an answer from the admin and hopefully I get a detailed description why they blocked your Client.

by all means, contact the admin of the tracker and inform him that the latest deluge (1.1.0) sends the correct ratio and ask if it could be unblocked.

In 99% of that cases the problem is that the admin of the (AL) tracker is just not able to alter the sourcecode of the tracker software that they just downloaded somewhere and know **** about. Maybe they managed to alter the stylesheets but they won't be able to whitelist a different client. That's the reason why.

Ok I will try to contact him, first just to get a detailed answer why it is blocked.

Maybe I will ask a few questions about Deluge to get it unblocked.

Thanks a lot
