I think we can use some boxee files for downloading torrents from xbmc gui.
What we need:
boxee-rtorrent (binary file from boxee source, in bin-linux folder)
rtorrent.rc.linux (settings file from boxee source, in system folder)
RTorrent script(for controling rtorrent program)
Torrent plugin (for searching and downloading torrent files from internet)
Concept:
We must start boxee-rtorrent with xbmc. I'm not sure how we can do that. Maybe with autoexec.py or inside Torrent plugin (or with this
init file). After that searching and downloading torrents from Torrent plugin. In rtorrent rc file we have "Watch a directory for new torrents" setting parameter. rtorrent watch ~/.xbmc/torrent directory and start download automatically. When it finishes files moved on ~/.xbmc/downloads/.
I made Video plugin for downloading torrent files from eztv.it & thepiratebay.Its very dirty plugin. I cant figure it out how can i download torrent files to ~/.xbmc/torrent folder. (look at "def addLink" param.)
Second problem RTorrent skin not compatible with PM3.HD skin. Need some modification.

(rtorrent looking to home folder for settings file. it must be place to "~/" i'm not sure if there is an option for settings file directory)

This is very handy feature. Is it worth to try? or just waiting devs to porting boxee torrent capability.
I'm not a coder, i cant do that with my own.
