How to modify user-agent name in transmission linux
Re: How to modify user-agent name in transmission linux
You cannot tell clients how to display your client, they're only getting a peed ID from you. If you change peer ID prefix (say, changing "TR" part to something else), you'd need to let each of other clients' authors know how to display it for them to change their software, or hope that they'll figure it out on their own sooner or later.
P.S. You probably meant version 2.84, not 2.48.
P.P.S. Hopefully your application is distributed under GNU GPL v2 or later.

Re: How to modify user-agent name in transmission linux
I feel like I don't understand you well. Anyway, that article you pointed to seems to change two things:
- peer ID prefix: see configure.ac and CMakeLists.txt
- user agent which used when communicating via HTTP(S) with trackers, webseeds, etc.: see web.c
