+ Transmission Web Interface
+ Transmission is a client for BitTorrent, the peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. Transmission can run as a GUI client or as a daemon process running in the background. Both provide a web interface allowing themselves to be controlled using a web browser. Also, both can be controlled using a command line interface. Enable this if you wish to control Transmission BitTorrent GUI or daemon using its web interface or the command line utility.
