+1 for deluge, being for server (with web interface, the ajax interface is great) or just for desktop. The pre-made gentoo daemon for deluge is also very well made so you will have less job to do to get it working.
I first tried rtorrent but I think this software has many bugs. Even though I adjusted the global_max_downloads, rtorrent kept downloading unlimited torrents simultaneously which is unacceptable. also rtorrent for a strange reason stops downloading/uploading after some weeks in my case, this has never happened with deluge to me, and the same session is running for 1 month now non-stop. Also I think rtorrent needs a better ncurses interface. It is a pain changing config parameters live, and generally working on it without plugging in a web interface. Even console versions of transmission and deluge are better than rtorrent. In the old times that I used Azureus it was rock stable, I am happy to see someone still using it. I want to try the new vuze some time. When transmission adds option for max simultaneous downloads/uploads , it will be worth checking out as well, right now it is so incomplete.
