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/

     -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

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