qBittorrent official forums

Hi - I am using a private British tracker and there have been some issues with adding QBT to the approved clients whitelist. Is there a way to simply copy and paste the full Peer ID?

I think I get how the peer ID is constructed for QBT 3.1.5

X is the major version number
Y is the minor version number
Z is the bugfix version number (in hexadecimal so that we can go up to 15)

For example, we would have the following Peer IDs for these versions:

qBittorrent v2.4.10: -qB24A0-
qBittorrent v3.0.2: -qB3020-

==> -qB3150- for qBittorrent v3,1,5
But what is the second part of the string about, i.e.

qBittorrent v3.1.3 -qB3130-kwsSnUYwydys

Where does the bit that starts with "kw" come from? Is it needed and where can I find it for 3.1.5?

Thanks for the link!

What is the second part of the string for though?

qBittorrent v3.0.9 -qB3090-0-wJet4gzTlf
qBittorrent v3.0.10 -qB30A0-EAq1q)NC7b5v
qBittorrent v3.0.11 -qB30B0-KUi2u81dD4WO
qBittorrent v3.1.0 -qB3100-_k!(nrC8nP3z
qBittorrent v3.1.1.1 -qB3110-NfD1DT_N4-9n
qBittorrent v3.1.2 -qB3120-KgvVOxfuPmui
qBittorrent v3.1.3 -qB3130-kwsSnUYwydys

The BitTorrent protocol states:

The peer_id is exactly 20 bytes (characters) long.

so it is for padding to 20 characters..

Thanks!
Ok, so -qB3150-123456789000 would work?

Should be.

Ok this was answered in the bug tracker and I updated the wiki entry: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorr ... nt_Peer_ID
