Like I said before you need to install the xorg server first, this is the xwindow manager and gives you a basic gui otherwise the distro is command line, you can run rtorrent from the command line but you need to know what you are doing. So the first thing you need to install through apt is xorg : apt-get install xorg, this will setup the dependencies and install xorg, you can then begin to install the other components you need.
If you can install GUI you can install rTorrent :)

Runs lighter, runs better and is also easy to use.

Although on Debian the packages they have on their repositories is kind of outdated (as usual) so installing a recent version it's a bit more difficult.
If you don't really care about running the bleeding edge just set your repositories to unstable/testing and do "apt-get install rtorrent". Then you just need to read the wiki to know how to use rtorrent and you're all set. :)
artemis said So the first thing you need to install through apt is xorg : apt-get install xorg, this will setup the dependencies and install xorg, you can then begin to install the other components you need. but when i did this it said could not find package i no its there some where i can see it in some folder maybe root folder
If apt can't find the package it is because it is not listed in the repositories, it is truly odd that apt cannot find that package, but you will need to update the repository lists so that apt can find and download the apps you need.
how do i update the repository list man im a dummy doooh~
evean when i updated they still cant find packages
Compile it yourself?
you have to rember im a newbie a debian its a different world i even put the packages into the folder it suposed to go to ,to reconise the pkgs and still says cant find pkgs im at my wits end even when i update
