Description

transmission-daemon is a daemon-based Transmission session that can be controlled via RPC commands from transmission's web interface or transmission-remote(1).

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.

-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
