rtorrent (command-line torrent client)

rtorrent is a BitTorrent client for ncurses, using the libtorrent
library. The client and library is written in C++ with emphasis on speed
and efficiency, while delivering equivalent features to those found in
GUI based clients in an ncurses client.

Optional dependency: xmlrpc-c

NOTE: To exit rtorrent, press ^Q. There is no built-in help, so it
helps to have "man rtorrent" open in another terminal.
