Good headless web-based torrent server/client solution?

I have a headless server in my attic that I'm mingling with, and one of the things I'd really like to do is get a headless torrent solution going.  Web-based would be best for portability, but I surely wouldn't mind using a GUI app either!  SSH sessions (like rtorrent) and vnc options are something I want to completely avoid.  So far, I've tried Deluge, torrentflux-b4rt, and Azureus.  Deluge is super-buggy and crashes every time I try to do anything useful.  torrentflux-b4rt is awesome, but it's a little too heavy.  When I get a few torrents going, the webui starts to stutter and lag.  Azureus is what I'm messing with now, but the webui is extremely limited.  Are there any other options out there?

I use the transmission client. Its got some bugs in it now though, but its in the repos as transmission-cli. Its pretty cool once you get past the lack of documentation. The man pages are pretty good, but thats about all you have to go on. Also, the web gui is broken in Arch.

After reading about rTorrent, I might switch...
