Nebulance & Anthelion:  Qbittorrent 4.4.x and V2/Hybrid .torrents

Quote:

Members of the Fleet!

It seems there has been much chatter about QBit 4.4.x on both of our trackers, so I felt it time to create a news post discussing our thoughts on it. Staff has been discussing the release almost since it went live, and we realize that other trackers are already allowing it. However, adding it to our whitelist will cause some other issues we need to make everyone aware of.

QBitorrent 4.4.0 introduced a new feature to create .torrents in a new torrent V2 mode, as well as a hybrid mode which is supposed to add additional security to the swarm. This is great and all, but not every user uses QBitorrent as their client, and not every client supports connecting to a v2 .torrent. This means if you were to upload one here, and another user downloaded it, there is a chance that they could not connect to you to actually transfer any data. It would be a mess for the peers. For this reason we have already blocked uploading v2 .torrents to our trackers.

The next issue is Hybrid .torrents, these were supposed to act the same as v1 with some added security, to allow backwards compatibility with older clients. The problem is not all clients can load these either... Specifically Transmission, and possibly some others. Until all of the torrent clients can support hybrid torrents, we feel it safest to not allow QBit 4.4.0 at this time. We are currently evaluating a way to block hybrid torrents from being uploaded to the tracker, if we can successfully block the upload of hybrid torrents, at least until more clients add support, then we will re-evaluate adding QBit 4.4.0 to our whitelist.

Staff apologizes for any inconveniences, but this is for the good of the tracker as a whole at this time.
More details to come...

似乎我们的两个跟踪器上都有很多关于 QBit 4.4.x 的讨论，所以我觉得是时候创建一篇新闻帖子来讨论我们对它的看法了。几乎自从它上线以来，工作人员就一直在讨论这个版本，我们意识到其他跟踪器已经允许它。但是，将其添加到我们的白名单会导致我们需要让每个人都知道的其他一些问题。

QBitorrent 4.4.0 引入了一项新功能，可以在新的 torrent V2 模式下创建 .torrent，以及应该为 swarm 增加额外安全性的混合模式。这很好，但并不是每个用户都使用 QBitorrent 作为他们的客户端，也不是每个客户端都支持连接到 v2 .torrent。这意味着，如果您要在此处上传一个，而另一位用户下载了它，则他们可能无法连接到您以实际传输任何数据。对于同龄人来说，这将是一团糟。出于这个原因，我们已经阻止将 v2 .torrent 上传到我们的跟踪器。

下一个问题是混合 .torrent，它们应该与 v1 相同，但增加了一些安全性，以允许与旧客户端向后兼容。问题不是所有客户端都可以加载这些...特别是传输，可能还有其他一些。在所有 torrent 客户端都可以支持混合 torrent 之前，我们认为此时不允许 QBit 4.4.0 是最安全的。我们目前正在评估一种阻止混合种子上传到跟踪器的方法，如果我们能够成功阻止混合种子的上传，至少在更多客户端添加支持之前，我们将重新评估将 QBit 4.4.0 添加到我们的白名单.

工作人员对给您带来的任何不便深表歉意，但目前这是为了整个跟踪器的利益。
更多细节即将到来...
