SYNOPSIS

-words transmission-daemon –h
transmission-daemon [-a x.x.x.x,… ] [-b | B ] [-c directory ] [-C ] [-d ] [-f ] [-g directory ] [-h ] [-p port ] [-t | T ] [-u username ] [-v password ] [-P port ] [-m | M ] [-l limit ] [-L limit ] [-er | ep | et ] [-utp | no-utp ] [-V ] [-w download-dir ] [-e logfile ] [-log-error | log-info | log-debug ]

DESCRIPTION

transmission-daemon is a daemon-based Transmission session that can be controlled via RPC commands from transmission’s web interface or transmission-remote1.

OPTIONS

-a –allowed x.x.x.x,…: Allow RPC access to a comma-delimited whitelist of IP addresses. Wildcards can be specified in an address by using ‘*’. Default: "127.0.0.1" Example: "127.0.0.*,192.168.1.*"
-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.
-c directory: Directory to watch for new .torrent files to be added. As they are added to this directory, the daemon will load them into Transmission.
-C: Do not watch for new .torrent files.
-B –no-blocklist: Disble blocklists.
-d: Dump transmission-daemon’s settings to stderr.
-f –foreground: Run in the foreground and print errors to stderr.
-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 http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles for more information.
-er –encryption-required: Encrypt all peer connections.
-ep –encryption-preferred: Prefer encrypted peer connections.
-et –encryption-tolerated: Prefer unencrypted peer connections.
-gsr –global-seedratio ratio: All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed until a specific ratio
-GSR –no-global-seedratio: All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed regardless of ratio
-h –help: Print command-line option descriptions.
–incomplete-dir dir: When adding new torrents, store their contents in directory until the torrent is done.
–no-incomplete-dir: Don’t store incomplete torrents in a different directory.
-i –bind-address-ipv4: Listen for IPv4 BitTorrent connections on a specific address. Only one IPv4 listening address is allowed. Default: 0.0.0.0 (All addresses)
-I –bind-address-ipv6: Listen for IPv6 BitTorrent connections on a specific address. Only one IPv6 listening address is allowed. Default: :: (All addresses)
-r –rpc-bind-address: Listen for RPC connections on a specific address. This must be an IPv4 address. Only one RPC listening address is allowed. Default: 0.0.0.0 (All addresses)
–paused: Pause all torrents on startup
-L –peerlimit-global limit: Overall peer limit. Useful on embedded systems where the default might be unsuitable. Default: 240
-l –peerlimit-torrent limit: Peer limit per torrent. Useful on embedded systems where the default might be unsuitable. Default: 60
-m –portmap: Enable portmapping via NAT-PMP or UPnP
-M –no-portmap: Disable portmapping
-o –dht: Enable distributed hash table (DHT).
-O –no-dht: Disable distribued hash table (DHT).
-p –port port: Port to open and listen for RPC requests on. Default: 9091
-P, -peerport port: Port to listen for incoming peers on. Default: 51413
-t –auth: Require clients to authenticate themselves. This doesn’t do much good unless username and password are also set.
-T –no-auth: Don’t require authentication from clients.
-u –username username: Used for client authentication.
-v –password password: Used for client authentication.
-V –version: Show version number and exit
–utp: Enable uTP for peer connections.
–no-utp: Disable uTP for peer connections.
-w –download-dir: Where to store downloaded data.
-e –logfile: Where to store transmission’s log messages.
–log-error: Show error messages
–log-info: Show error and info messages
–log-debug: Show error, info, and debug messages

ENVIRONMENT

http_proxy: libcurl uses this environment variable when performing tracker announces.
TRANSMISSION_HOME: Sets the default config-dir.

FILES

~/.config/transmission-daemon: The config-dir used when neither [TRANSMISSION_HOME ] nor [-g ] is specified. See http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/ConfigFiles for more information.
