How to block Stremio peers from qBittorrent? (beehaw.org)

Not only Stremio, I heard there are other apps that do the same thing Stremio does, which is only leech and not seed.

From my research, the suggestions I found were :

Disable DHT
Use blocklists (I am also looking for suggestions, currently considering using this one)

There were also suggestions to block by PeerID, however Stremio generates a spoofed PeerID.

I also learned that Stremio only works if the tracker allows magnet links, but this doesn't seem something actionable on the peer level.

Is there anything else I am missing?

I thought Stremio is a media center similar to jellyfin?

Popular add-ons enable on-the-fly playback of torrents as they are downloaded, typically linked to an accompanying debrid service that handles all the dirty work for a small fee.

That sounds horrible

...what? Why would it be horrible? Been using it for years, it's perfectly fine. And contrary to what this post says, Stremio does seed torrents back.
