The term Transmission by itself refers to this software package/project as a whole, and not to any individual part of it.Īs for not having transmission-create it might be that your version is too old (since it's a fairly recent addition afaik) or that the maintainers of the package for your distribution are not including it. transmission-cli: (deprecated in favor of transmission-remote) starts a non-daemonized local instance of transmission, for manually downloading a torrent. transmission-edit: add, delete, or replace a trackers announce URL. transmission-create: creates a new torrent.
