If you've already got a URL to the metadata file, use:

btdownloadcurses.py --url=http://someserver/somefile.torrent

Run the command without arguments to see what else you can do. You can also 
use btdownloadheadless.py if you plan to run the program detached (eg. 
inside a "screen" session).

The RPM also includes a btseed service that allows you to drop the seed in 
a directory somewhere, but I'm still investigating how to use that.
