Bittorrent clients send something equivalent to a user-agent. I haven't looked into it, but I'd guess that typically includes the operating system?

- Tobu 11y agoI don't think it does, it's just a few bytes. There's a client with a different identifier for the major platforms (µTorrent on Mac, Linux, Android IIRC) but that doesn't include the OS version.
- fredoliveira 11y agoThey typically report a name, version number and sometimes the operating system. Normally, they wouldn't report enough information to let the tracker know if it's actually a windows 10 machine running the client.
