$ transmission-daemon

try on your machine

The command "transmission-daemon" starts the Transmission BitTorrent client in daemon mode.

Transmission is an open-source, lightweight BitTorrent client that allows users to download and share files using the BitTorrent protocol. When running in daemon mode, Transmission operates as a background service, which means it runs without a graphical user interface (GUI) and can be controlled and accessed remotely through a web interface or various other tools.

The "transmission-daemon" command initiates the Transmission daemon process, which starts the client and establishes the necessary connections to join a BitTorrent network. Once launched, the daemon will listen for incoming connections from other Torrent clients and allows users to manipulate and manage the client remotely using the Transmission Remote Web Interface or other compatible interfaces.

Some common usage scenarios for the "transmission-daemon" command include running Transmission on headless servers or network-attached storage (NAS) devices to create a dedicated Torrent downloading and sharing server, or to power a torrent client on a remote machine accessible through a web interface.
