What are some good NATIVE Linux torrent programs? I used uTorrent in Windows and enjoyed the performance. I heard its performance is comparable when run under wine, but I'd prefer a native program.
I currently have Transmission under GNOME desktop, but I was wondering if there are *better* ones or a way to improve the performance of Transmission. I can't port forward it because I am on my school network.

I have used Transmission for a few years and loved it. I am currently using Deluge and I think I like it even more, plus it sends and receives data encrypted.
I just tried rtorrent today (bored at work) after seeing this thread and its pretty neat. Its ncurses based, so I can just open a terminal remotely and run it in a screen session. I *love* terminal apps.
