.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
program is a lightweight BitTorrent client with a simple, intuitive
GTK+ interface.
.Pp
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/

.Nm

.El
.Pp
Only one instance of
.Nm

instance.

.It ~/.transmission
