Headless torrent downloads with rTorrent and Screen

This is the same set up I'm using at home. It works flawlessly. Another nice feature is to set your share ratio in the .rtorrent.rc file. I usually set it to 2:1 so that I've shared two copies of the torrent by the the time I'm done downloading.

Another handy feature is to share the torrent watch directory via samba, that way, no matter which computer I'm using on my network, I can copy a torrent file to the headless machine.
