Headless torrent downloads with rTorrent and Screen

I wrote some scripts to automate the entire setup for multiuser rtorrent/screen usage. It searches for users that have .rtorrent.rc in their homedir, then loads screen and executes rtorrent for them, and then detaches... all on boot, so users can come and go as they please.

That was a pain, actually. So I switched to BTG... which is still a developing project, but I like it a lot so far.
