Yo, in short you cannot, at least from within Transmission.
It would be possible for Transmission to close itself, but not start. Application cannot start itself so it would be system/platform dependant.Well... it could be programmed but would be a bit painful, since it would have to be done for each platform in a different manner.
The second thing if that does satisfies you, you could mimic this behaviour in a way. Set the turtle limits to 0/0 for the period that you would like Transmission not to operate. Though I must admit that I don't know if it allows to completely turn off traffic I'm afraid not.

Now I think it could be relatively easily implemented along the turtle mode, to completely switch off any activity. This would serve your purpose completely as long as it it would acceptable to have one process process doing nothing running. I don't know your exact needs. But as long as you just want to perserve bandwidth you can still use the turtle mode with some minimal limits.
