DESCRIPTION
     transmission-remote is a remote control utility for transmission(1) and
     transmission-daemon(1).

     By	default, transmission-remote connects to the transmission session at
     localhost:9091.  Other sessions can be controlled by specifying a differ-
     ent host and/or port.

OPTIONS
     -a	--add filenames-or-URLs
	     Add torrents to transmission.

     -b	--debug
	     Enable debugging mode.

     -as --alt-speed
	     Use the alternate Limits.

     -AS --no-alt-speed
	     Don't use the alternate Limits.

     -asd --alt-speed-downlimit	limit
	     Limit the alternate download speed	to limit kilobytes per second.

     -asu --alt-speed-uplimit limit
	     Limit the alternate upload	speed to limit kilobytes per second.

     -asc --alt-speed-scheduler
	     Use the scheduled on/off times.

     -ASC --no-alt-speed-scheduler
	     Don't use the scheduled on/off days and times.

     --alt-speed-time-begin time
	     Time to start using the alt speed limits (in hhmm).

     --alt-speed-time-end time
	     Time to stop using	the alt	speed limits (in hhmm).

     --alt-speed-days days
	     Set the number of days on which to	enable the speed scheduler,
	     using a list such as "2,4-6".

     -d	--downlimit limit
