I think aria2 would be a great torrent client to include. It's a download utility in general that supports segmented downloads and metalink, as well as bittorrent.

aria2 has  segmented downloading engine in its core. It can download one file from multiple URLs or multiple connections from one URL. This results in very high speed downloading, very much faster than ordinary browsers.

Unlike Aria, which has GTK+ interface, aria2 provides command-line interface only. But GUI-lessness brings lower resource requirement. The physical memory usage is typically 3MB(normal HTTP/FTP downloads) to 5MB(BitTorrent downloads). CPU usage in BitTorrent with download speed of 500KB/sec is around 7%.
