transmission-cli: Set the download speed limit to 50 KB/s.
$ transmission-cli --downlimit ${50} ${select}
try on your machine

This command starts the Transmission command-line interface to control a BitTorrent client's downloading behavior. Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "transmission-cli": This is the command itself, starting the Transmission command-line interface.
  • "--downlimit": This option is used to set a limit on the download speed.
  • "${50}": This is a placeholder for a specific value. In this case, it's being used to represent the download speed limit, which is set at 50 kilobits per second (kbps) in this example. You can replace "${50}" with any desired value.
  • "${select}": Similarly, this is another placeholder, representing the torrent or file you want to download. You need to replace "${select}" with the actual name or ID of the torrent or file.

Overall, this command sets a download speed limit of 50 kbps using the "--downlimit" option and specifies the torrent or file to download using the "${select}" placeholder.
