DESCRIPTION

11     transmission-gtk is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.
12
13     BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo
14     file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to
15     distribute file data amongst a group of peers. For more information on
16     the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/

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

ENVIRONMENT

42     http_proxy  libcurl uses this environment variable when performing
43                 tracker announces. If set, this overrides the GNOME proxy
44                 preferences.
45

FILES

48             The config-dir used when neither [TRANSMISSION_HOME] nor [-g] is
49             specified.
