Best BitTorrent Client ?

What is the best BitTorrent client to run on Linode?

I am playing with TorrentFlux, but it hasn't impressed me much.

    I've found rtorrent works nicely. Be sure to set in .rtorrent.rc:
encryption=allow_incoming,try_outgoing,enable_retry
port_range=10000-60000
port_random=yes

This will help improve transfers with peers behind evil ISPs. Setting session and directory are highly recommended as well. The rtorrent site has some other useful recipies: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentCommonTasks
