I'm running torrents on the home server, and I talk to home server via the transmission-remote utility. I'd like to retrieve the magnet link for one of my torrents, however this seems to be impossible, as the transmission-remote -t[torrent-id] -i doesn't give me the link, and the manual also says nothing. Is there any way to get a magnet link?

This worked for me :
transmission-remote -a magnet:?xt=urn...[magnet_link_here]...

May have been patched since the question was asked, but running
transmission-remote -l -t 13 -i | grep magnet
worked for me, got the magnet link for torrent number 13.
If you want only the link, you can sed away the title:
transmission-remote -l -t 13 -i | grep magnet | sed -e "s/^ *Magnet: //"
You may need to add a parameter --auth <username>:<password> for authentication.
