transmission-cli: Force encryption for peer connections.

transmission-cli

$ transmission-cli --encryption-required ${select}

try on your machine

This command is using the "transmission-cli" application to initiate a BitTorrent download process with the option to require encryption. Here's a breakdown of each component:

"transmission-cli": It is the command-line interface of the Transmission BitTorrent client, a popular software for downloading and managing torrent files.
"--encryption-required": This option specifies that the connection between your client and other peers should only be established if encryption is enabled. It helps enhance privacy and security while downloading the torrents.
"${select}": This represents a placeholder for a variable, where you would usually supply the torrent file or magnet link you wish to download.

Altogether, the command instructs Transmission to start a download, but it will only establish connections with other peers that support encryption. The actual file or magnet link to download is expected to be provided by the user, which would replace the "${select}" variable.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
