Lightweight
rTorrent is designed to be very lightweight and efficient, consuming minimal system resources which is ideal for use on less powerful machines or servers.
Performance
It is known for its high performance and stability, making it suitable for handling a large number of torrents simultaneously without significant slowdowns.
Customizability
Users can configure rTorrent extensively to suit their specific needs, often using scripts and configuration files.
Text-Based Interface
Operating in the terminal using a text-based interface, rTorrent is both fast and highly suitable for remote access via SSH without the need for a GUI.
Integration with ruTorrent
rTorrent can be paired with ruTorrent, a powerful web-based front-end, providing an intuitive interface for users who prefer a browser-based GUI.
You could also check out rtorrent: http://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/, but I remember reading that development has stalled on that project.

Where it really starts to shine is when you combine it with other CLI & TUI applications. I use openSSH, rtorrent and Tmux (or GNU screen) in combination with PIA’s manual script to achieve a remote “seedbox”. I don’t need to access my computers when I’m away from my local network but one has the potential by creating their own local VPN or opening up the port to their seedbox.
