Any torrents which are in this directory will be downloaded and seeded by rtorrent. So if you have this accessible by sshfs/nfs/whatever, just dump your torrents in there and they go off and download without any extra intervention. When you delete torrents from the watch directory, they're removed from rtorrent too. Convenience!
