Don't know whats going wrong.
Try it in two steps (both commands as one line).
Download the tracker file:
wget "http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/torrents/KNOPPIX_V9.1CD-2021-01-25-EN.torrent";
Download the data to desired directory (-w PATH):
transmission-cli -w ~/tmp KNOPPIX_V9.1CD-2021-01-25-EN.torrent
This worked for me testing it only a minute ago.

Interesting, I only got 1 for an error value and that's good to know for
writing scripts.

I got error 404 when using that url in lftp and transmission-cli simply
failed to download. What I'm going to do next to help my learning is to
run it in lftp on a single line and then capture the error value that
returns with $?. This way I can improve my own script writing.

And the torrent for the CD image (668 megabytes only versus above DVD image of

Has anyone got a download that can download the latest english version of
microknoppix? Everyone of the mirrors only has german text on it and I
didn't study that language enough to understand the website's content.
I'm having better luck downloading through bittorrent these days than with
other downloaders given the low grade of verizon fios connectivity.
wget for instance is downloading iso's that fail sha256sum -c tests once
downloaded and it does that persistently.
