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?

Im fairly sure stremio does seed, maybe users can choose not to or set really low upload but thats true of any torrent clients.

If you really dont want to share with leechers you should stop using public trackers entirely and get on something like torrentleech or another private tracker where they ban leechers.
