I just need to transfer file from torrent server to my box (and then i download it via normal download manager)

Its private,and i dont need to seed function

rtorrent
I am too lazy to install torrentflux, plus web server, php bla bla
so which one do you suggest,torrentflux or rtorrent??
Have you used the rtorrent CLI before? If not, and "simple" means a web interface (by your choice of torrentflux), I heartily recommend
qbittorrent-nox
. It's a one-piece webGUI/daemon and does not require a separate web server. It's run great for me on an OVZ 128/128 (vSwap) and another OVZ 128/128 (Burst), so I imagine it will run even better on Xen.That sounds better
because i only use it occaniously
Also, you should double check your VPS providers policy on torrents -- a lot of them don't allow it. If you won't be seeding but just leeching -- bad karma, I know, but I've been on a dorm network too -- you can try risking it, but disable UDP/DHT and set a sane upload limit. Needless to say, quit when you're done.
Of course, it helps if you are an EE/CS/IT major...one spoofed MAC and I could be on the 100+ mbits/sec core in the lab at 3 AM
rtorrent +1. torrentflux and torrentflux-b4rt cannot do trackerless torrents or magnet links. I do not know about rtorrent but my home seedbox was torrentflux, now is deluged+webui because of tpd ditched all the torent files...
rutorrent with rtorrent obviously.
torrent flux with fuck up your 128mb bro.
Deluge also has a nice webinterface (standalone) but i don't know if it runs on 128mb
I prefer utorrent since my windows-desktop client and the webclient will have the same interface, one package does it all
BuyVM does afaik
uTorrent on Wine on a 128MB VPS is asking for trouble...
The
qbittorrent-nox
webGUI has a nice uTorrent-ish interface. I decided to test it out on the closest VPS I have, a 128MB Xen. Here's a screenshot, downloading 4 torrents @ ~16 MB/sec (Beeb documentaries to be safeAnd the associated
htop
screenshot... about 27M res, with load stable around 0.30 -- the GUI's built in, not related to the running apache.rutorrent is much better for a private user.
Transmission is quiet good and comes with a neat WebUI !

In case you have not Googled and found the low end server BarracudaDrive and the torrent plugin:

rtorrent + a watch folder
Sure, but the Linux build might fare alright in such an environment.
