Is there any way to pretend to be another client?

Maybe something in the source I can edit to report that I'm another client?

I'm trying to get around the client being banned on a private tracker. I love KTorrent and am not going to switch just because they don't like it.

You will have to modify the code to do that

I'm aware, but I don't know what to modify.

Could you point me in the right direction?

We have a policy of not doing that, we don't want to get KT banned on private trackers.

But if you really want to do this, read the bittorrent spec (http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0003.html), that should give you some terms to grep on in the source code.

I'm not really trying to pretend to be another client. Just pretend to be a "stable" version, as in KTorrent 3.0.2 or maybe 2.x. I'm running 3.1RC1, which isn't approved.
