transmission-gtk – a bittorrent client
Synopsis
transmission-gtk –?transmission-gtk [-pqm ] [torrent-file … ]
Description
transmission-gtk 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/
