Also, it would be super useful if someone could do a quick test and perhaps compare a few of the s/w options out there. We have rtorrent and bittorrent-ncurses that we use within .centos.org at the moment; bittorrent itself is quite cpu intensive once you cross a hundred clients, otoh I've seen rtorrent get to between 350 - 400 links on the same machine, but i am sure there is still room for improvement there. no idea how deluge or transmission fare in this regard.
I have some new hardware that I could put up a test seed on using different clients, but I don't really have a way to generate 400+ torrent connections... Were you using a specific test tool, or talking about real-world experience?
