I prefer rtorrent and consider it the best GNU/Linux torrent client available. 
It's fast, easily configured, and has lots of room to customize it to work the 
way you want.

I haven’t used it yet as I rarely use torrent at all, but elinks, being a
curses-based web browser, has torrent support. I imagine it shows torrents in
its download manager.

Rtorrent seems pretty good to me and is quite flexible.  I is ncurses
based.
