transmission-remote: Stop all torrents.
$ transmission-remote ${hostname} -t ${all} --stop
try on your machine

This command is used to stop all the ongoing downloads in the Transmission BitTorrent client using the transmission-remote tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command syntax:

  • ${hostname}: This is a placeholder for the hostname or IP address of the computer running the Transmission BitTorrent client. The actual value should be provided when executing the command.
  • transmission-remote: This is the command to interact with the Transmission remote interface from the command line.
  • -t ${all}: This option specifies the torrent(s) to be stopped. ${all} is a placeholder indicating that all torrents should be stopped. It could also be replaced with specific torrent IDs or ranges.
  • --stop: This command option instructs Transmission to stop the selected torrent(s), which halts any ongoing downloads or uploads.

To summarize, executing this command will connect to the Transmission client running on the specified ${hostname} and issue a stop command for all torrents, effectively pausing all ongoing downloads.
