Deluge

Description

Deluge is a free, open source BitTorrent client for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It uses libtorrent (a complete C++ BitTorrent implementation designed for efficiency and scalability), uses multiple user interfaces (such as GTK+, web and console) and was designed using the client server model that runs a daemon that is able to manage all BitTorrent activity.

You can manage the application remotely and thanks to its rich plugin collection it is one of the most popular cross-platform BitTorrent clients. According to the Deluge Team, their intention was to offer a lightweight and unobtrusive BitTorrent client. You can download the Linux versions (for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Gentoo) and FreeBSD from the official Deluge Download page.
