NAME
transmission — a bittorrent client
SYNOPSIS
transmission −?
transmission [−pqm] [torrent-file ...]
DESCRIPTION
transmission 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/
The options are as follows:
−? −-help
Show help options
−p −-paused
Start with all torrents paused
−q −-quit
Ask the running transmission instance to quit
−m −-minimized
Start minimized in system tray
−g, −-config-dir directory
Where to look for configuration files
Only one instance of transmission may be run at one time. Multiple .torrent files may be loaded at startup by adding them to the command line. If transmission is already running, those torrents will be opened in the running instance.
FILES
~/.config/transmission
The directory which transmission uses to store user preferences, resume information and state, and the socket file used for interprocess communication (IPC).
