I want to have rtorrent running in the background once I turn it on

Use "screen".  It will let you detach from the session, and reattach
to it later.  It's perfect for this sort of thing.

If he doesn't need to reattach, what about just nohup?

I don't think it works with ncurses applications. They tend to freak out a bit when they no longer have a controlling terminal.
