The house in which I live has a metered ADSL connection from slingshot.co.nz which, to be brief, sucks. Our download speed varies greatly based on time of day and how long slingshot's equipment has been up.
Everyone in the house shares the 10KB/s upstream we have which makes downloading files via BitTorrent very slow. Our upstream becomes saturated and the connection is unacceptably slow. I found TorrentFlux which is a web based BitTorrent client which will run on your dedicated server or, if you have a fat upstream, the file server on your local network.
All you need is a LAMP setup with Python and you get a great interface for downloading torrents to a remote machine. You can even create accounts for everyone in your house. Make sure to enable "Security Code Login" which displays an image with numbers in it to prevent people from using a brute force HTTP password cracker. (or at least make it harder)
