Why do some peers have unusual client names in qbittorrent
It’s because some chars aren’t decoded properly. & should be rendered as just &. Hinting that more than this is not properly rendered

To add to this,

?
edit: my client renders it as the actual character, even though it's in a code block.
Wow so can I use > to get this?
Edit:yes
I got a notification when you responded and it was ">" but it renders correctly once I open the post.
edit fucking hell it did it even in quotes, I meant >;
had to use a greek question mark so it doesn't render
You can also use & to get &.
Edit: Fuck, I meant &
Edit 2: &
Okay nevermind, either lemmy or sync resolves html entities recursively apparently.
Edit 3: &
finally someone who understands the pain
lemmy doesn't resolve html entities if put in a code block but sync does
Correctly or wrongly? yours renders ampersand gt semocolon as > only in code block and not in my sentence?
"wrongly" if in a code block for sure
I use Sync for lemmy, it's a mess but it's the app that's the closest to Joey for me. They charge 30$ to remove ads or 135$(lifetime, it's like 3$ monthly) to be able to import/export communities lmao
Lmao. But quotes won't change anything i guess. But monospace should do or you maybe able to escape the characters with backslash \
Lemme try >
Edit : yeah this works for me.
doesn't for me. definitely a client issue. these little quirks are what keeps programmers up at night.
Again i'm having abiguity with works. I mean it shows as ampersand gt semicolon and not a single symbol for me. Are you reffering the same? Is it showing a single > symbol for you?
yup. sync seems to parse it and take any & code and renders it as the actual character. lets lest it.

edit: 
i'm even more confused now
Lol
Looks like a bug. But as long as they upload legitimate files, I don't see the problem.
Maybe they're not PC users and maybe those are servers??....
Haven't noticed this in Tixati. I've only noticed better d/l speeds since I switched over.
+1 for Tixati :)
Is Tixati open source
Tixati isn't whitelisted on pretty much any private tracker because of how easy it makes spoofing other clients.
