NAME
transmission-gtk - a bittorrent client

SYNOPSIS
transmission-gtk -?
transmission-gtk [-pqm] [torrent-file ...]

DESCRIPTION
transmission-gtk is a fast and easy BitTorrent client.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol which uses a metainfo file (usually with the .torrent file extension) and a central tracker to distribute file data amongst a group of peers. For more information on the BitTorrent protocol see http://www.bittorrent.org/

-g --config-dir directory

Multiple .torrent files may be added at startup by appending them on the command line. If transmission-gtk is already running, the torrents will be added to the running instance.
