Peer-ID
From version 0.80 onward, Transmission's peer-id is formatted in Azureus' style with one digit for the major version, two digits for the minor version and one character to denote a stable release (0), nightly build (Z) or prerelease beta (X). For example:
-TR1330-— Official 1.33 release-TR133Z-— Nightly build between 1.33 and 1.34-TR133X-— Beta release of 1.34
Rationale: 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, versions of Transmission used two digits for the major version and two for the minor version. For example, -TR0072- was Transmission 0.72.
User-Agent

- Transmission/1.32 (6455) — Official 1.32 release
- Transmission/1.32+ (6499) — Nightly build between 1.32 and 1.33
