tremc is a terminal-based interface for managing the Transmission BitTorrent client. It connects to a running Transmission daemon and provides keyboard-driven access to torrents, transfer statistics and configuration settings. The application can manage Transmission instances running on the local computer or a remote server, making it useful for headless systems and seedboxes.
tremc is a continuation of transmission-remote-cli, providing a curses-based interface with separate torrent list and detail views. The detail view exposes information about files, peers, trackers and downloaded pieces, while the main interface supports sorting, filtering and selecting multiple torrents. Most operations can be performed through keyboard shortcuts, avoiding the need for a graphical desktop or web interface.
This is free and open source software.
