     3For a general overview of the Bit Torrent protocol start at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol) Wikipedia: Bit Torrent Protocol] [[BR]]
     4It is strongly recommended that parameters not well understood be left at their default values.

     6= Common Parameters =
     7The following are common to all current versions of Transmission.

    6 || '''dht-enabled''' || Boolean || true || ||
