I also tried the official bittorrent s/w, but the GUI was all but non-existent, and didn't seem to ever update onscreen. Mind you, the download rate (measured with other tools) was noticeably quicker than qtorrent is..

I usually use btheadlesscurses.py from the official distribution. It's very good and low-CPU at keeping itself updated, but it doesn't have the partial-downloads-usable feature of Bitt's client.
