I used rtorrent with screen some years back, but dumped it after it turned out the developer would tweak it's bt algorithm implementation to it's advantage (and disadvantage of the swarm). Accordingly it got banned on a few sites back then.
If you want a good reputation and powerful console bt client for the Internet, get Azureus. It runs in console mode too. I've been running it inside screen for years now on my server, and you can even remotely connect either via HTTP or a remote Java client. It maybe has a larger memory footprint, but the 512MB RAM in that server are still ample even with other services running on it.
