try this one:
Get BitTorrent for linux sources. Then extract them where every you like
and make link from file btdownloadncurses.py to /usr/local/bin and
rename it to torrent. Then open console and go to where your .torrent
file is and type torrent title.rar.torrent or what ever and it will
start downloading title.rar to same folder where you .torrent file is.
