transmission-cli: Download a torrent to a specific directory.
$ transmission-cli --download-dir ${path-to-download_directory} ${select}
try on your machine

This command is used to download files using the Transmission command-line interface (CLI).

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • transmission-cli: This is the command itself, which launches the Transmission command-line interface.
  • --download-dir ${path-to-download_directory}: This option specifies the directory where the downloaded files will be saved. You need to replace ${path-to-download_directory} with the actual path to your desired download directory.
  • ${select}: This refers to the files or torrents you want to download. It can be a specific file or a .torrent file. You need to replace ${select} with the appropriate file or torrent you want to download.

Overall, this command initiates the Transmission CLI to download files specified by ${select} and saves them in the directory provided by ${path-to-download_directory}.
