DESCRIPTION
The transmission-cli program is a lightweight, command-line BitTorrent client with scripting capabilities.
The options are as follows:
-b --blocklist
Enable peer blocklists. Transmission understands the bluetack blocklist file format. New blocklists can be added by copying them

Set the maximum download speed in KB/s
-D, --no-downlimit
Don't limit the download speed
-er --encryption-required

-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.
-m, --portmap
Enable portmapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP
-M, --no-portmap
Disable portmapping
-n, --new sourcefile

-U, --no-uplimit
Don't limit the upload speed
-v, --verify
Verify the torrent's downloaded data.
-w, --download-dir directory
Where to save downloaded data.
SIGNALS
In addition to these options, sending transmission-cli a SIGHUP signal will contact the tracker for more peers.
ENVIRONMENT
TRANSMISSION_HOME

http_proxy libcurl uses this environment variable when performing tracker announces.
FILES
~/.config/transmission
Directory where transmission-cli keeps torrent information for future seeding and resume operations.
