Not so surprising. Most people using Ubuntu will probably prefer the
GUI clients.

In any case, setting the port range, upload speed, and download
directory in ~/.rtorrent.rc should be enough to get you going. Then
you open your .torrent file in rtorrent. The thing to remember is that
the file you are sharing must be in the download directory. When
rtorrent loads your .torrent file, it will see the file, calculate the
hashes, and start sharing it.

Whether your creationist  target audience is BT-savvy enough to make
it worth your while is an entirely different matter, but I guess you
will soon find out.
