     transmission — a bittorrent client

SYNOPSIS
     transmission -?
     transmission [-pqm] [torrent-file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     transmission 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/

     -m --minimized

     -g, --config-dir directory
             Where to look for configuration files.  This can be used to swap

             http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles for more informa‐
             tion.

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