* Try the help in Transmission's "Help" menu.
* simplehelp.net has an introduction for [Transmission on Macs](https://www.simplehelp.net/2008/07/17/how-to-use-transmission-as-your-bittorrent-client-os-x/).
* Jun Azua has an introduction for [Transmission GUI on Linux](https://www.junauza.com/2009/01/how-to-use-bittorrent-in-linux.html).
Wrote a guide on headless usage. (#3049) The guide uses `transmission-daemon` and `transmission-remote`. It makes some basic security recommendations, but it does not include instructions for system integration, i.e. systemd, etc.
