Am I confused or is OP trying to just copy peerflix's torrent downloading code?
I looked at the personal website of the Github user (Jeffrey Jose) who forked it (4 hours ago) and they already have a listing for "tget" on their website[0]. I understand it is MIT licensed, but that seems shady to me to try to pass off another's work as your own. The first PR was to fix the README title from peerflix to "tget"[1].
Looks like this project was created an hour ago by cloning peerflix. Not a bad way to start, but as yet nothing to distinguish it from the more mature offerings like peerflix itself, or aria2 as mentioned in a sister comment.
For any other rtorrent users, check out rtorrent-pyroscope for a modified version that provides a number of enhancements (more compact UI, a number of ancillary scripts to manage torrents, make torrents and modify torrent files).
I found rtorrent kept breaking on my often enough (mac) that it wasn't worth keeping around. It got dropped from homebrew for that very reason. Transmission cli does a wonderful job in place of it.
