DESCRIPTIONtransmission-remote is a remote control utility for transmission(1) and
transmission-daemon(1).
By default, transmission-remote connects to the transmission session at
localhost:9091. Other sessions can be controlled by specifying a differ‐
ent host and/or port.
OPTIONS-a --add filenames-or-URLs
Add torrents to transmission.
-b --debug
Enable debugging mode.
-as --alt-speed
Use the alternate Limits.
-AS --no-alt-speed
Don't use the alternate Limits.
-asd --alt-speed-downlimit limit
Limit the alternate download speed to limit kilobytes per second.
-asu --alt-speed-uplimit limit
Limit the alternate upload speed to limit kilobytes per second.
-asc --alt-speed-scheduler
Use the scheduled on/off times.
-ASC --no-alt-speed-scheduler
Don't use the scheduled on/off days and times.
--alt-speed-time-begin time
Time to start using the alt speed limits (in hhmm).
--alt-speed-time-end time
Time to stop using the alt speed limits (in hhmm).
--alt-speed-days days
Set the number of days on which to enable the speed scheduler,
using a list such as "2,4-6".
--torrent-done-script filename
Specify a file to run each time a torrent finishes
--no-torrent-done-script

-c --incomplete-dir dir
When adding new torrents, store their contents in directory until
the torrent is done.
-C --no-incomplete-dir
Don't store incomplete torrents in a different directory.
-d --downlimit limit
Limit the maximum download speed to limit kB/s. If current tor‐
rent(s) are selected this operates on them. Otherwise, it changes
the global setting.
-D --no-downlimit
Disable download speed limits. If current torrent(s) are
selected this operates on them. Otherwise, it changes the global
setting.
-e --cache size
Set the session's maximum memory cache size in MiB. This cache is
used to reduce disk IO.
-er --encryption-required
Encrypt all peer connections.
-ep --encryption-preferred
Prefer encrypted peer connections.
-et --encryption-tolerated
Prefer unencrypted peer connections.
--exit Tell the Transmission to initiate a shutdown.
-f --files
Get a file list for the current torrent(s)-g --get all | file-index | files
Mark file(s) for download. all marks all all of the torrent's
files for downloading, file-index adds a single file to the down‐
load list, and files adds multiple files to the download list,
such as "-g1,3-5" to add files #1, #3, #4, and #5 to the download
list.
-G --no-get all | file-index | files
Mark file(s) for not downloading.
-gsr --global-seedratio ratio
All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should
seed until a specific ratio
-GSR --no-global-seedratio

seed regardless of ratio
-h --help
Print command-line option descriptions.
-i --info
Show details of the current torrent(s)-if --info-files

-ip --info-peers
List the specified torrent's peers
-ic --info-pieces
List the specified torrent's pieces
-it --info-trackers
List the specified torrent's trackers
-si --session-info
List session information from the server
-st --session-stats
List statistical information from the server
-l --list
List all torrents

variable which must be formatted as username:password.
-N --netrc filename
Set the authentication information from a netrc file. See
netrc(5) for more information.
-o --dht
Enable distributed hash table (DHT).
-O --no-dht
Disable distribued hash table (DHT).
-p --port port
Set the port for use when listening for incoming peer connections
-Bh --bandwidth-high
Give this torrent first chance at available bandwidth
-Bn --bandwidth-normal
Give this torrent the bandwidth left over by high priority tor‐
rents
-Bl --bandwidth-low
Give this torrent the bandwidth left over by high and normal pri‐
ority torrents
-ph --priority-high all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified file(s) first. all marks all of
the torrent's files as normal priority, file-index sets a single
file's priority as normal, and files sets multiple files' priori‐
ties as normal, such as "-pn1,3-5" to normalize files #1, #3, #4,
and #5.
-pn --priority-normal all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified files normally.
-pl --priority-low all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified files last
-pr --peers number
Set the maximum number of peers. If current torrent(s) are
selected this operates on them. Otherwise, it changes the global
setting.
-r --remove
Remove the current torrent(s). This does not delete the down‐
loaded data.
--remove-and-delete
Remove the current torrent(s) and delete their downloaded data.
--reannounce
Reannounce the current torrent(s). This is the same as the GUI's
"ask tracker for more peers" button.
--move Move the current torrents' data from their current locations to

H: Peer was found through DHT
I: Peer is an incoming connection
K: Peer has unchoked us, but we're not interested
O: Optimistic unchoked
T: Peer is connected over uTP
U: Uploading to peer
u: We would upload to this peer if they asked
X: Peer was discovered through Peer Exchange (PEX)
