DESCRIPTION
The transmission-cli program is a lightweight, command-line BitTorrent client with scripting capabilities.
The options are as follows:
−b −-blocklist
Enable peer blocklists. Transmission understands the bluetack blocklist file format. New blocklists can be added by copying them into the config-dir’s "blocklists" subdirectory.
−B −-no-blocklist
Disable blocklists.
−d −-downlimit number
Set the maximum download speed in KB/s
−D −-no-downlimit
Don’t limit the download speed
−er −-encryption-required
Encrypt all peer connections.
−ep −-encryption-preferred
Prefer encrypted peer connections.
−et −-encryption-tolerated
Prefer unencrypted peer connections.
−f −-finish script
Set a script to run when the torrent finishes
−g −-config-dir directory
Where to look for configuration files. This can be used to swap between using the cli, daemon, gtk, and qt clients. See https://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/Configuration-Files.md for more information.

Prints a short usage summary.
−m −-portmap
