## About
|
|
|
|
Transmission is a fast, easy, and free BitTorrent client. It comes in several flavors:
|
|
* A native Mac OS X GUI application
|
|
* GTK+ and Qt GUI applications for Linux, BSD, etc.
|
|
* A headless daemon for servers and routers
|
|
* A web UI for remote controlling any of the above
|

|
## Command line interface notes
|
|
|
|
Transmission is fully supported in transmission-remote, the preferred cli client.
|
|
|
|
Three standalone tools to examine, create, and edit .torrent files exist: transmission-show, transmission-create, and transmission-edit, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Prior to development of transmission-remote, the standalone client transmission-cli was created. Limited to a single torrent at a time, transmission-cli is deprecated and exists primarily to support older hardware dependent upon it. In almost all instances, transmission-remote should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
Different distributions may choose to package any or all of these tools in one or more separate packages.
|

|
## Building
