This is apparently one of the best console (ncurses) bittorrent clients for *nix systems. I've been meaning to switch over to a *nix/console bittorrent client for a while now, so I don't have to leave my Windows machine running all night when downloading torrents. uTorrent is such a sophisticated and easy to use client that I've been reluctant to change, but I think with this client I will finally make the switch.
Now, if only it was possible to detach and reattach XDMCP sessions (like you can RDP sessions), then maybe I'd go with a graphical client. Something clumsily approximating remote desktop's "resummability" can be accomplished in VNC, but I'm just not convinced.
