Reading through this loooong thread it sounds like you want to run
Transmission in daemon mode.
It starts in the background and gives you a nice web server interface.
I run it at home.

On hardy it's still called 'clutch'  - Somewhere along the line they
just started building it into Transmission proper, so for newer
releases you'll have to check.

Description: Web-based BitTorrent client using Transmission engine
 Clutch uses PHP5 with an AJAX and plain HTML interface to provide an extremely
 powerful torrenting client from any web browser. It is powered by the
 Transmission bittorrent daemon and supports all the features the installed
 version of transmission supports.
