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 into the config-dir's "blocklists" subdirectory.

       -B --no-blocklist
               Disable blocklists.

       -d --downlimit number
               Set the maximum download speed in KB/s

       -D --no-downlimit
               Don't limit the download speed

       -er --encryption-required
               Encrypt all peer connections.

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

       -h --help
               Prints a short usage summary.

       -m --portmap
               Enable portmapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP

       -M --no-portmap
               Disable portmapping

       -p --port port
               Set the port to listen for incoming peers. (Default: 51413)

       --tos tos
               Use a ToS or DSCP name to set the peer socket service type for
               local router-based traffic shaping. Valid values are a decimal
               value 0-255, or any of these DSCP strings:

               “cs0”, “cs1”, “cs2”, “cs3”, “cs4”, “cs5”, “cs6”, “cs7”, “ef”, “le” These ToS keys are  deprecated
               and will be removed in the future: “default”, “lowcost”, “lowdelay,” “reliability”, “throughput”

       -u --uplimit number
               Set the maximum upload speed in KB/s

       -U --no-uplimit
