NAME

     transmission-qt — a bittorrent client

SYNOPSIS

     transmission-qt -h

DESCRIPTION

     transmission-qt is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.

     BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo file (usually with
     the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to distribute file data amongst a group
     of peers. For more information on the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/

     -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
             https://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/Configuration-Files.md
             for more information.
