DESCRIPTION

is a remote control utility for transmission(1) and transmission-daemon1.

By default, connects to the transmission session at localhost:9091. Other sessions can be controlled by specifying a different host and/or port.

-a --add filenames-or-URLs Add torrents to transmission.
-b --debug: Enable debugging mode.
-as --alt-speed: Use the alternate Limits.
-AS --no-alt-speed: Don't use the alternate Limits.
-asd --alt-speed-downlimit limit: Limit the alternate download speed to limit kilobytes per second.
-asu --alt-speed-uplimit limit: Limit the alternate upload speed to limit kilobytes per second.
-asc --alt-speed-scheduler: Use the scheduled on/off times.
-ASC --no-alt-speed-scheduler: Don't use the scheduled on/off days and times.
--alt-speed-time-begin time: Time to start using the alt speed limits (in hhmm).
--alt-speed-time-end time: Time to stop using the alt speed limits (in hhmm).
--alt-speed-days days: Set the number of days on which to enable the speed scheduler, using a list such as "2,4-6".
--torrent-done-script filename: Specify a file to run each time a torrent finishes

-G --no-get all | file-index | files: Mark file(s) for not downloading.
-gsr --global-seedratio ratio: All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed until a specific ratio

-n --auth username:password: Set the username and password for authentication
-ne --authenv: Set the authentication information from the TR_AUTH environment variable which must be formatted as username:password.
-N --netrc filename: Set the authentication information from a netrc file. See netrc(5) for more information.
-o --dht: Enable distributed hash table (DHT).
-O --no-dht: Disable distribued hash table (DHT).
-p --port port: Set the port for use when listening for incoming peer connections
-Bh --bandwidth-high: Give this torrent first chance at available bandwidth
-Bn --bandwidth-normal: Give this torrent the bandwidth left over by high priority torrents
-

Give this torrent the bandwidth left over by high and normal priority torrents
-ph --priority-high all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified file(s) first. all marks all of the torrent's files as normal priority, file-index sets a single file's priority as normal, and files sets multiple files' priorities as normal, such as "-pn1,3-5" to normalize files #1, #3, #4, and #5.
-pn --priority-normal all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified files normally.
-pl --priority-low all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified files last
