transmission-remote

Transmission-remote is a command line tool used to control the Transmission BitTorrent client remotely. It allows users to interact with Transmission from any machine on the network, without requiring direct access to the client. The tool provides a range of functionalities, making it easy to manage and monitor ongoing downloads and uploads.

With transmission-remote, users can add new torrents to Transmission, either by providing a magnet link or a torrent file. They can also list all active transfers, pause and resume downloads, and remove torrents from the downloading queue. Additionally, the tool provides options to set download and upload speed limits, prioritize specific files or folders within a torrent, and manage the settings of the Transmission client.

The tool also supports monitoring the overall status of downloads, including availability, completion percentage, download speed, and estimated time remaining. It can display information about individual torrents, such as file list, size, and peers connected. Moreover, transmission-remote enables users to download specific files instead of the entire torrent, which is particularly useful when dealing with large torrents with multiple files.

Transmission-remote is highly customizable, allowing users to configure various settings like encryption, bandwidth allocation, and port forwarding. The tool supports authentication and encryption to ensure secure communication between the client and the remote controller. It is available for multiple operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, making it versatile and widely accessible.
