Bittorrent seeding server

Hi!

I currently have a Gentoo server seeding about 700 torrents, using KTorrent which runs on Xorg, but I'd really like to get rid of that since I manually need to start KTorrent (bittorrent client for KDE) every time the machine (or Xorg) is restarted. The dependancy on Xorg isn't awesome either, since sometimes I'd need to access it using VNC or something, and that doesn't always work properly for newer Xorg versions for some reasons (x11vnc; keystrokes won't go through).

So, does anybody know about some bittorrent seeding server, which:

could be started via an init-script
would have a decent command-line interface (or web-interface)
would allow me to easily import all the torrents and files from KTorrent (so I wouldn't need to redownload those terabytes nor import every single torrent by hand)
would be CPU- and memory-efficient (e.g. probably written in C/C++) when seeding those 700 torrents

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks!

How about Transmission?

Can be run via Commandline.
Has a webinterface.
Written in C, low memory footprint.
Should be able to use the torrentfiles vom ktorrent.

Deluge runs as a service (comes with /etc/init.d/ script) and has a web interface and a remote GTK interface - you can easily use it on a headless.

Moved from Other Things Gentoo to Networking & Security.
