Multiple instances of transmission-cli

Hello guys,

I want to download torrents with transmission-cli using commands like:

Code: Select all

transmission-cli --download-dir=/home/torrents/1161864/files /home/torrents/1161864/1161864.torrent
This command download just one torrent and works well.

However, "/home/torrents/" folder has subfolders so I decided that "watch dir" option won't work. If so then I need to use this command several times for different torrent files but when I start second instance of transmission-cli it doesn't download a torrent. Moreover, it doesn't download a torrent after the first instance of transmission-cli has been completed and closed. I mean when I start two instances of transmission-cli only the first instance download files. The second one just doesn't work and freezes with "Progress: 0.0%, dl from 0 of 0 peers". But if I start this torrent as a first instance it works.

So my question is how to download torrents manualy in multiple instances with transmission-cli using command-line?

Thanks,
Greg.

But what if I need to run 30 torrents at the same time?
