BitTorrent downloads on headless machines via CLI

Download and install BitTorrent.
The current version 4.0.2 of BitTorrent requires that you use python2.3 or above else you will not be able to import the modules.
I got fedora core 1 rpms from python.org and installed via `rpm -ivh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.i386.rpm`. That way I still kept 2.2 as other application depend on it.
You can now run "btdownloadheadless.py":
```
$ python2.3 /usr/bin/btdownloadheadless.py download.torrent --save_in /path/to/directory
```
You could also use "/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py" instead.

For other options:

$ python2.3 /usr/bin/btdownloadheadless.py -h
