Looking for a Debian Command Line Torrent Client
I need something that I can use over SSH on my headless node. Can anyone suggest a good Client for Debian?

Perhaps transmission-cli or torrentflux if you want web interface. Also rtorrent and transmission-cli can be used from the command line.

There's bittorrent it's self.

Description: Original BitTorent client - console tools
BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use -
downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is
downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving
the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the
upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader
introduces new upload capacity.
This package contains the tools which are used for console-only downloading.

How do I install transmission-cli?
Here's what I've done and I got some dependency errors:
sudo apt-get install transmission-cli
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bittorrent: Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-twisted (>= 2.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-crypto (>= 2.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-psyco but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-zopeinterface but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

If you use aptitude instead of apt-get, it usually offers you a solution to the dependency problem. One of many reasons to prefer aptitude to apt-get.
