transmission-remote is a remote control utility for transmission(1) and transmission-daemon(1).

By default, transmission-remote connects to the transmission session at localhost:9091. Other sessions can be controlled by specifying a different host and/or port.

--add filenames-or-URLs
Add torrents to transmission.
--debug
Enable debugging mode.
--alt-speed
Use the alternate Limits.
--no-alt-speed
Don't use the alternate Limits.
--alt-speed-downlimit limit
Limit the alternate download speed to limit kilobytes per second.
--alt-speed-uplimit limit
Limit the alternate upload speed to limit kilobytes per second.
--alt-speed-scheduler
Use the scheduled on/off times.
--no-alt-speed-scheduler
Don't use the scheduled on/off days and times.
time
Time to start using the alt speed limits (in hhmm).
time
Time to stop using the alt speed limits (in hhmm).
days
Set the number of days on which to enable the speed scheduler, using a list such as "2,4-6".
filename

Don't run any script when a torrent finishes
--incomplete-dir dir
When adding new torrents, store their contents in directory until the torrent is done.
--no-incomplete-dir

--downlimit limit
Limit the maximum download speed to limit kB/s. If current torrent(s) are selected this operates on them. Otherwise, it changes the global setting.
--no-downlimit
Disable download speed limits. If current torrent(s) are selected this operates on them. Otherwise, it changes the global setting.
--cache size
Set the session's maximum memory cache size in MiB. This cache is used to reduce disk IO.

Prefer encrypted peer connections.
--encryption-tolerated
Prefer unencrypted peer connections.
Tell the Transmission to initiate a shutdown.
--files
Get a file list for the current torrent(s)
--get all | file-index | files
Mark file(s) for download. all marks all all of the torrent's files for downloading, file-index adds a single file to the download list, and files adds multiple files to the download list, such as "-g1,3-5" to add files #1, #3, #4, and #5 to the download list.
--no-get all | file-index | files
Mark file(s) for not downloading.
--global-seedratio ratio
All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed until a specific ratio
--no-global-seedratio
All torrents, unless overridden by a per-torrent setting, should seed regardless of ratio

--no-dht
Disable distribued hash table (DHT).
--port port
Set the port for use when listening for incoming peer connections
--bandwidth-high
Give this torrent first chance at available bandwidth
--bandwidth-normal
Give this torrent the bandwidth left over by high priority torrents
--bandwidth-low
Give this torrent the bandwidth left over by high and normal priority torrents
--priority-high all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified file(s) first. all marks all of the torrent's files as normal priority, file-index sets a single file's priority as normal, and files sets multiple files' priorities as normal, such as "-pn1,3-5" to normalize files #1, #3, #4, and #5.
--priority-normal all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified files normally.
--priority-low all | file-index | files
Try to download the specified files last
--peers number
