Overview
The transmissioncli program is a lightweight, command-line BitTorrent client with scripting capabilities.
The options are as follows:
-
-a, --announce announce-url -
When creating a new torrent, set its announce URL
-
-b --blocklist -
Enable peer blocklists. Transmission understands the bluetack blocklist file format. New blocklists can be added by copying them into the config-dir's "blocklists" subdirectory.
-
-B --no-blocklist -
Disble blocklists.
-
-c, --comment comment-text -
When creating a new torrent, set its comment field
-
-d, --downlimit number -
Set the maximum download speed in KB/s
-
-D, --no-downlimit -
Don't limit the download speed
-
-er --encryption-required -
Encrypt all peer connections.
-
-ep --encryption-preferred -
Prefer encrypted peer connections.
-
-et --encryption-tolerated -
Prefer unencrypted peer connections.
-
-f, --finish script -
Set a script to run when the torrent finishes
-
-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 http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles for more information.

-h, --help -
Prints a short usage summary.
-
-i, --info -
Shows torrent details and exit
-
-m, --portmap -
Enable portmapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP
-
-M, --no-portmap -
Disable portmapping
-
-n, --new sourcefile -
Create torrent from the specified file or directory
-
-p, --port port -
Set the port to listen for incoming peers. (Default: 51413)
-
-r, --private -
When creating a new torrent, set its 'private' flag
-
-s, --scrape -
Print the current number of seeders and leechers for the specified torrent
-
-t, --tos -

Set the maximum upload speed in KB/s
-
-U, --no-uplimit -
Don't limit the upload speed
-
-v, --verify -
