Flags in Torrent

What are the flags in a Torrent client?
The flags in the Torrent Client (BitTorrent or uTorrent) displays various letters, each carrying a special meaning about the state of the connection.

Meaning of flags in BitTorrent:
    ?: your client unchoked the peer but the peer is not interested
    D: currently downloading from the peer (interested and not choked)
    d: your client wants to download, but peer doesn't want to send (interested and choked)
    E: peer is using Protocol Encryption (all traffic)
    e: peer is using Protocol Encryption (handshake)
    F: peer was involved in a hashfailed piece (not necessarily a bad peer, just involved)
    H: peer was obtained through DHT
    h: peer connection established via UDP hole-punching
    I: peer established an incoming connection
    K: peer unchoked your client, but your client is not interested
    L: peer has been or discovered via Local Peer Discovery
    O: optimistic unchoke
    P: peer is communicating and transporting data over uTP
    S: peer is snubbed
    U: currently uploading to the peer (interested and not choked)
    u: the peer wants your client to upload, but your client doesn't want to (interested and choked)
    X: peer was included in peer lists obtained through Peer Exchange (PEX)
