Thanks to whoever posted this on reddit. I hope other clients detect and blocking it.

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?

That. Is. Hilarious. I always block anyone that pops up as torrent storm since I never get any data from people on that service
