FYI, transmission-cli is considered deprecated by the Transmission developers. Using both transmission-daemon and transmission-remote is the recommended approach. Actually, transmission-cli uses transmission-daemon internally and they share the same configuration. transmission-cli is still useful for one-off downloads, but I still prefer the recommended way because I'd like to seed older torrents some more time.


> transmission-cli is considered deprecated

Wah! Bad news! I like to kick off a download from an SSH shell. Now I have to find out what transmission+remote is.


I was greatly disappointed too when I found out about transmission-cli's deprecation, but I have since found and replaced all uses of it with stig[1] which, for me, does the same thing and more.

You can still do that

   $ transmission-remote -a one.torrent two.torrent


You could also check out rtorrent: http://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/, but I remember reading that development has stalled on that project.


aria2 can download a torrent from a magnet link given as CLI parameter.


I'm not a user of transmission-cli in general, but transmission-create (part of transmission-cli) is indispensable for me.
