DESCRIPTION

     transmission-daemon is a daemon-based Transmission session that can be controlled via RPC commands from transmission's web interface or
     transmission-remote(1).

OPTIONS

     -a --allowed x.x.x.x,...
	     Allow RPC access to a comma-delimited whitelist of IP addresses.  Wildcards can be specified in an address by using '*'.  Default:
	     "127.0.0.1" Example: "127.0.0.*,192.168.1.*"

     -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.

     -c directory
	     Directory to watch for new .torrent files to be added. As they are added to this directory, the daemon will load them into Transmis-
	     sion.

     -C      Do not watch for new .torrent files.

     -B --no-blocklist
	     Disble blocklists.

     -f --foreground
	     Run in the foreground and print errors to stderr.

     -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.

     -er --encryption-required
	     Encrypt all peer connections.

     -ep --encryption-preferred
	     Prefer encrypted peer connections.

     -et --encryption-tolerated
	     Prefer unencrypted peer connections.

     -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.

     --incomplete-dir dir
	     When adding new torrents, store their contents in directory until the torrent is done.

     --no-incomplete-dir
	     Don't store incomplete torrents in a different directory.

     -i --bind-address-ipv4
	     Listen for IPv4 BitTorrent connections on a specific address. Only one IPv4 listening address is allowed. Default: 0.0.0.0 (All
	     addresses)

     -I --bind-address-ipv6
	     Listen for IPv6 BitTorrent connections on a specific address. Only one IPv6 listening address is allowed. Default: :: (All addresses)

     -r --rpc-bind-address
	     Listen for RPC connections on a specific address. This must be an IPv4 address. Only one RPC listening address is allowed. Default:
	     0.0.0.0 (All addresses)

     --paused
	     Pause all torrents on startup

     -L --peerlimit-global limit
	     Overall peer limit. Useful on embedded systems where the default might be unsuitable. Default: 240

     -l --peerlimit-torrent limit
	     Peer limit per torrent. Useful on embedded systems where the default might be unsuitable. Default: 60

     -m --portmap
	     Enable portmapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP

     -M --no-portmap
	     Disable portmapping

     -o --dht
	     Enable distributed hash table (DHT).

     -O --no-dht
	     Disable distribued hash table (DHT).

     -p --port port
	     Port to open and listen for RPC requests on. Default: 9091

     -P, --peerport port
	     Port to listen for incoming peers on. Default: 51413

     -t --auth
	     Require clients to authenticate themselves.  This doesn't do much good unless username and password are also set.

     -T --no-auth
	     Don't require authentication from clients.

     -u --username username
	     Used for client authentication.

     -v --password password
	     Used for client authentication.

     -V --version
	     Show version number and exit

     --utp   Enable uTP for peer connections.

     --no-utp
	     Disable uTP for peer connections.

     -w --download-dir
	     Where to store downloaded data.

     -e --logfile
	     Where to store transmission's log messages.

     --log-error
	     Show error messages

     --log-info
	     Show error and info messages

     --log-debug
	     Show error, info, and debug messages
