Have you considered using one of the many bittorrent command line tools instead? I use rtorrent for grabbing stuff when I'm stuck in a terminal window, saves on the overhead of X...am guessing that'd be scriptable in a far easier way...
bittorrent-console is command line, and scripting it isn't too difficult: gnome-terminal -x bittorrent-console <torrent file>. However, that is pretty much the extent of it--there's no way to make adjustments to torrents already in progress without killing them first. I have been looking for a better command line bittorrent app so maybe I'll check out rtorrent. Thanks. -- Dylan Type faster.
