NAME

5     transmission-gtk — a bittorrent client

SYNOPSIS

8     transmission-gtk -h
9     transmission-gtk [-pq] [torrent-file ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12     The transmission-gtk program is a lightweight BitTorrent client with a
13     simple, intuitive GTK+ interface.
14
15     BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo
16     file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to
17     distribute file data amongst a group of peers.  For more information on
18     the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/
19
20     The options are as follows:
21
22     -h --help
23             Print command-line option descriptions.
24
25     -p --paused
26             Start with all torrents paused
27
28     -q --quit
29             Quit a running transmission-gtk instance
30
31     Only one instance of transmission-gtk may be run at one time.  Multiple
32     .torrent files may be loaded at startup by adding them to the command
33     line.  If transmission-gtk is already running, those torrents will be
34     opened in the running instance.
35

FILES

37     ~/.transmission
38             The directory which transmission-gtk uses to store user prefer‐
39             ences, resume information and state, and the socket file used for
40             interprocess communication (IPC).
