webtorrent: Stream a torrent to a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) device.
$ webtorrent download "${torrent_id}" --dlna
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the webtorrent tool to download a torrent file. Here's a breakdown of the components:

  • webtorrent: It is a command-line tool used to stream and download torrents.
  • download: This is the specific command used to initiate the download process.
  • "${torrent_id}": It is a placeholder for the actual torrent identifier. The "${}" syntax is used to reference a variable or parameter value in a shell script or command.
  • --dlna: This is an optional flag or parameter indicating that the downloaded content should be prepared for DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) streaming. DLNA enables sharing media content between different devices within a network, such as streaming videos or music to a smart TV or media player.

To use this command, you need to replace "${torrent_id}" with the actual identifier of the torrent file you want to download. The --dlna flag is optional and can be omitted if you don't require DLNA streaming functionality.

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.
