Im looking for a decent CLI torrent client that will download a torrent file based on a .torrent URL that I feed into it(or copy to local drive, and then input into it), that will download to one dir, and upon completion move it to another dir. Something that I can control via php exec() function.

rtorrent has several web frontends which you might be able to hack on.

Why not the original mainline client ? (or bittornado, which is almost equivalent and a bit more friendly). That's what torrentflux used last time I checked. btdownloadheadless.py is the simplest frontend.

qbittorrent-nox, runs as a system service (contrary to popular belief) from an initscript available on the project wiki.
Not much mention of the headless method on the website, but it's in the Debian 'testing' repo.
Based on Rasterbar's libtorrent, which is quite featureful.
According to Wikipedia's comparison it's one of the few providing Tracker Exchange (BEP28) support.

potentially a duplicate of http://superuser.com/questions/35919/which-torrent-apps-work-headless-from-command-line-only

Just something for someone who might happen upon this question. A web based torrent client http://www.torrentflux.com/ its a bit old but worked good.
