If you are interested in a bittorrent 'client' with a web interface
there is b4rt-torrent and torrent-flux (b4rt-torrent is based upon
torrent-flux with some ajaxian modifications) which is what I have used
in the past, apologies if this is not what you're after.
Screen is definitely something you should learn none the less, it is
amazingly powerful and well worth the short learning curve, one of my
favourite apps.
