[https://transmissionbt.com/ Transmission] is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client for Linux that provides both GUI and command-line interfaces for efficient torrent downloading and seeding.

== Installation ==

Install by adding transmission_4-qt or transmission_4-gtk to your packages list

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ transmission_4-qt ];

</syntaxHighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ transmission_4-gtk ];</syntaxhighlight>

Transmission 3 has been deprecated in the 25.05 channel and removed in favor of version 4 in the 25.11 channel onwards.

If you still rely on it, consider making a backup before upgrading to transmission 4.

== Service configuration ==

~~{{note| This section was created in 2017 and this workaround may not~~ be ~~needed anymore~~ for ~~changing settings~~. ~~This will stay until final confirmation occurs~~.}}

The transmission daemon can be enabled declaratively as a <code>systemd</code> service with the settings under <code>services.transmission.settings</code>. [https://search.nixos.org/options?type=packages&query=transmission.settings View the documentation for more info].

Note that <code>services.transmission.package</code> defaults to:

~~Changes to the configuration~~ in the ~~interface will not persist when the application is re-launched~~. <code>~~services.transmission.settings~~</code> ~~is reset each time the service restarts~~.

* <code>transmission_3</code> in the deprecated 25.05 channel

* <code>transmission_4</code> from 25.11 onwards

<~~blockquote~~>

Example:

~~Attribute set whos[e] fields overwrites fields in settings~~.~~json (each~~

~~time the service starts)~~. ~~String values must be quoted, integer and~~

services.transmission.settings = {

~~boolean values must not.~~

download-dir = "${config.services.transmission.home}/Downloads";
