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.  

OPTIONS

-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".
-d --downlimit limit
Limit the global download speed to limit kilobytes per second.
-D --no-downlimit
Remove the global download limit.
-er --encryption-required
Encrypt all peer connections.
-ep --encryption-preferred
Prefer encrypted peer connections.
-et --encryption-tolerated
Prefer unencrypted peer connections.
-f --files
Get a file list for the current torrent(s)
-g --get all | file-index | files

-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
-GSR --no-global-seedratio
All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed regardless of ratio
-h --help
Print command-line option descriptions.
-i --info id | torrent-hash
Show details of the current torrent(s)
-si --session-info
List session information from the server
-st --session-stats

-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
-pn --priority-normal all | file-index | files
Mark file(s) as normal priority. 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.
-ph --priority-high all | file-index | files
Mark file(s) as high priority.
-pl --priority-low all | file-index | files
Mark file(s) as low priority.
-pr --peers number
Set the current torrent(s)' maximum number of peers
-gpr --global-peers number
Set the maximum number of peers allowed globally
-r --remove
Remove the current torrent(s). This does not delete the downloaded data.

-S --stop
Stop the current torrent(s) from downloading or seeding
-t --torrent all | id | torrent-hash

-w --download-dir directory
Use directory as the default location for newly added torrents to download files to.
-x --pex

EXAMPLES

Set download and upload limits to 400 KiB/sec and 60 KiB/sec:
$ transmission-remote -d400 -u60
$ transmission-remote --downlimit=400 --uplimit=60
Set alternate download and upload limits to 100 KiB/sec and 20 KiB/sec:
$ transmission-remote -asd100 -asu20
$ transmission-remote --alt-speed-downlimit=100 --alt-speed-uplimit=20
