I'll expand. There are clients that work with decentralized servers, and spend a time looking into those servers. Ktorrent is one of them, and is a long time stalled before beginning to download. utorrent, begins, with the same torrent and at the same time, at once.
I use rtorrent, with a $HOME/.rtorrent.rc tuned to my upload/download speeds as well for as optimal hashing/checksumming (it originally was for my old OpenBSD laptop but now repurposed for Slackware.) I run it under a tmux session.

This is only true if you have a magnet link for the source, ktorrent will behave like any other torrent client if you only have a torrent link. Transmission does the same.
While not really "tiny", I use deluge. I have it running as a daemon on my file server/seedbox and have a client on all my other computers. Works great.
I'm compiling qbittorrent, but first boost,one of its dependencies. boost has 17MB and will take several hours to compile. I do not think this is a tiny client. It'll take longer than mplayer for the GUI.

Boost is already included in Slackware:

Description boost (Boost C++ Libraries) Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. One goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. http://www.boost.org/
You'll need libtorent-rasterbar package (you can get it from Alien Bob's repo, or to compile it yourself), and I think that's it when we talk about qbittorrent dependencies.
