Question: What Are These Sources? (T, X, Etc.)

[BOWi]

Hi!

 

I recently came back to P2P. I use Bittorrent when I buy something on Humble Bundle and I sometime read the log.

 

I noticed some entries like :

 

[00:19:43]  ****************** (thiswarofmine_windows.zip): Connecting: source: T

 

 

Connecting: source: X

etc.

 

What are these source types? What does it means? I couldn't find easily.

 

Thanks!

T - Tracker

X - Peer Exchange

Note that you may not always have those flags to work from.

Thanks! I didn't know these were flags! That seems obvious now.
