My webbserver act as a torrentclient as well.
To start rtorrent in background I using the command screen to do this.
This is how I do:
In terminal type,

Your have now started rtorrent in a screen named rtorrent, how to access is just type
bash-4.2$ screen -r rtorrent
and there you have it.
And to exit, hold on Ctrl and A release and then press D. Now your are out of rtorrent screen and it still running i background.
