## Peer-ID
|
|
|
|
Transmission's peer-ids follow Azureus' style with code `TR`. Peer-id prefix is `-TR????-`, where `????` are four bytes encoding the client's version. Client version encoding changed over the client's history.
|
|
|
|
### Current scheme
|
|
|
|
Starting from version 3.00, peer-ids are formatted `-TRXYZR-` where `X`, `Y`, `Z` are [base62](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base62) major, minor, patch version numbers, and `R` is one of `0` (stable release), `B` (beta release), or `Z` (dev build). For example:
|
|
|
|
* `-TR40aZ-` — 4.0.36 Dev
|
|
* `-TR400B-` — 4.0.0 Beta
|
|
* `-TR4A00-` — 4.11.0
|
|
|
|
The suffix scheme was changed after 3.00 for consistency with other clients.
|
|
|
|
### 0.80 up to 3.00
|
|
|
|
From version 0.80 up to 3.00, Transmission's peer-ids were formatted `-TRXYYR-`, where `X` was one base10 digit for the major version and `YY` were two base10 digits for the minor version. `R` was a suffix denoting a stable release (`0`), nightly build (`Z`), or prerelease beta (`X`). For example:
|
|
|
|
* `-TR133Z-` — Nightly build between 1.33 and 1.34
|
|
* `-TR133X-` — 1.34 Beta
|
|
* `-TR1330-` — 1.33
|
|
|
|
Rationale at the time: this differentiates between official and unofficial releases in a way which is easy for trackers to detect with simple string comparison. An official release (`-TR1330-`) is lexicographically smaller than its post-release unsupported versions (`-TR133Z-` and `-TR133X-`), which in turn are lexicographically smaller than the next official release (`-TR1340-`).
|
|
|
|
### Before 0.80
|
|
|
|
Before 0.80, Transmission used two base10 digits for the major version and two base10 digits for the minor version. For example:
|
|
|
|
* `-TR0072-` — 0.72
|
|
* `-TR0006-` — 0.6
|
|
|
|
## User-Agent
|
|
|
|
Its User-Agent header follows a similar format, plus the VCS revision in parentheses:
|
|
|
|
* Transmission/1.30X (6416) — Beta release leading up to version 1.30
|
|
* Transmission/1.32 (6455) — Official 1.32 release
|
|
* Transmission/1.32+ (6499) — Nightly build between 1.32 and 1.33
