TRANSMISSION-EDIT(1)

TRANSMISSION-EDIT 💅

okay bestie, welcome to transmission-edit — it's a command-line utility for tweaking the announce URLs inside your .torrent files ✨ (yes, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, we're fancy). This is your girl for when a tracker moves house or your passcode gets rotated and you do not wanna re-download anything. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

transmission-edit [-h] [-a url] [-d url] [-r search replace] [-s source]
                  torrentfile(s)

like... feed it a torrent file (or several, she's not picky) and tell her what to do. that's it. that's the vibe. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

transmission-edit is the command-line utility that modifies .torrent files' announce URLs. no GUI, no drama, just you, your terminal, and your torrents finally pointing at the right place. periodt. 💖

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — shows you a short help page and then dips (exits). the "hey bestie what do I do" button. 🫶
• -a, --add URL — adds an announce URL to the torrent's announce-list — but only if it's not already in the list. she checks first, she's not messy. ✨
• -d, --delete URL — removes an announce URL from the torrent's announce-list. goodbye, you will not be missed. 💀
• -r, --replace search replace — does a substring search-and-replace inside a torrent's announce URLs. this is THE move when your tracker moves to a new address, or when your passcode changes and the old one is giving expired. 👑
• -s, --source source — sets the source tag inside a torrent. cute little label, very demure. 🎀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay so the iconic use case: updating a tracker passcode across all your torrents at once. one line. one slay.

$ transmission-edit -r old-passcode new-passcode ~/.config/transmission/torrents/*\.torrent

see how she ate that. 🔥
