as I am running on a headless box, and often from remote locations, azureus wasn't an option. Now do I like it much, its a resource hog at times. azureus does have a command line interface, but I think you have to install the gui, and all its dependencies like X etc to get it installed, even to use the command line interface. rtorrent has a nice curses interface. The controls are a little obscure, but that means you get some nice surprises when you read the documentation.
