I use the rtorrent from rpmforge. Enable that repo and then yum install
rtorrent. It's a lean, mean CLI machine! :-)
AND HURRY UP! My new "fat" pipe (potential 1.25MB/sec) has finally edged
up to 85.5KB/sec. I need the help folks! ;-)

Ditto.
BTW: here's a rtorrent command line if you decide on it.
#!/bin/bash
export SD=~/../shared/CentOS
cd $SD
rtorrent \
-s $SD \
-o check_hash=no,key_layout=qwerty \
-o peer_exchange=yes,dht=on \
*.torrent
The "peer_ex..." is useless here as this is not a private torrent. You
can drop it. Also, if you don't have multiple torrents, the last line is
OK. Otherwise you can drop it and use <ALT><Backspace> with tab
completion to selectively enable the ones you want to process.
