That's strange. I've been using a plain/vanilla etch system here (in
fact, I always track testing) and I *do* have rtorrent available here.

Well, you may be surprised with the steep learning curve for rtorrent
(and its interface), but it is definitely worth learning, because of the
non-interpreted nature of the program and the fact that it consumes
*far* less resources than similar programs written in Python or Java.
Hope this helps, Rogério.
I suggest using qtorrent. It works, and it's simple to use. And hey,
"q" comes before "r"
