this feature is implemented in Transmission 2.00b1 (10680) .. in settings.json just edit line to:

"start-added-torrents": false,

and when using "transmission-remote -a file.torrent" the torrent is added in Stopped state. anyway i've already used this many times and it works as advertised.

There is no need to change settings.json, tranmsission-remote can do it:

Code: Select all

$ transmission-remote -h
Transmission 2.00b1 (10680)  http://www.transmissionbt.com/
...
       --start-paused                        Start added torrents paused
       --no-start-paused                     Start added torrents unpaused

You should also be able to stop the torrent while adding with 'transmission-remote --add torrent --stop'
