The "peers" tab in transmission-gtk allows you to see what peers you are
connected to and other basic information about them. It would be nice to
know which peers came from trackers, and which came from PEX -- and for
multi-tracker torrents, it would be nice to know _which_ tracker a given
peer came from.

This is already the case, at least in 1.61.

Hi,

I believe you either haven't read the whole bug report before closing it
or perhaps there's some misunderstanding.
The requested features, namely displaying whether a peer came from PEX
or from tracker, plus identifying the origin tracker, doesn't yet exist
in current 1.61. The current "peers" tab only shows IP, encryption
status, client and speed.

Please correct me if I failed to see the exact spot where this got
implemented, but for the time being, I'm reopening the bug.

Cheers

Indeed, there must be some misunderstanding.

The ``status'' column indicates the origin of the peer.  It contains one
of

  I: incoming connection
  X: peer obtained from PEX
  H: peer obtained from the DHT (in 1.70 only).

If none of the above are present, the peer was obtained from a tracker.
This is explained in the tooltip of the field.  It is also explained on
the transmission wiki on

http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/PeerStatusText

The information about which particular tracker a peer was obtained from
is not presented; as far as I know, the libtransmission backend doesn't
maintain this information at all.

I'm not closing this bug this time, Leo; please either close it or let
me know why this reply is not satisfactory.

Hi,

one, my bad.

I'm leaving it open for now since it's only partly solved; the request
for identifying the tracker, still isn't available (or possible?). It
should at least remain a reference in case someone else wants this
functionality.

Cheers

thanks

The point is that it is not necessary to keep track of this information,
so we don't.  Knowing what kind of peer this is is important, since we
want to prefer peers from a tracker to peers obtained from PEX.  There
is no reason to distinguish peers obtained from different trackers, so
we don't.

I'm tagging this bug upstream; you may want to file a bug on
trac.transmissionbt.com.
