NAME

transmission-gtk - a bittorrent client

SYNOPSIS

transmission-gtk -?
transmission-gtk [-pqm ] [torrent-file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

transmission-gtk is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to distribute file data amongst a group of peers. For more information on the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/

OPTIONS

-? --help: Show help options
-p --paused: Start with all torrents paused
-m --minimized: Start minimized in notification area
-g, --config-dir directory: Where to look for configuration files. This can be used to swap between using the cli, daemon, gtk, and qt clients. See https://github.com/transmission/transmission/wiki/Configuration-Files for more information.

Multiple .torrent files may be added at startup by appending them on the command line. If transmission-gtk is already running, the torrents will be added to the running instance.

ENVIRONMENT

TRANSMISSION_HOME: Sets the default config-dir.
http_proxy: libcurl uses this environment variable when performing tracker announces. If set, this overrides the GNOME proxy preferences.

FILES

~/.config/transmission: The config-dir used when neither [TRANSMISSION_HOME ] nor [-g ] is specified.
