Please do not use this modified BitTorrent client on Private Trackers,
unless qBittorrent Enhanced Edition is allowed on the Private Tracker(Depend on which PT you're using.).
Otherwise, you will get banned.
You should ask a tracker operator to whitelist this client rather than asking a developer to change the Client Peer ID or User Agent.

These modifications won't take effect on private torrents.

User agent: qBittorrent Enhanced/LATEST_RELEASE_VERSION
, example: qBittorrent Enhanced/4.3.0.10
PeerID: -qB430[A-Z]-
, example: -qB430A-
