rTorrent is amazing, especially now that it includes support for DHT. It's become my standard client because I can run it inside screen(1) on my dvr, whch lets me control it remotely just by sshing in.

I've never run it on a Mac, but I really recommend trying to get it working, because it's a very good client.

And with a bit of Googling, here's some code that would make it watch a directory and automatically start/stop torrents that appear in the directory. (Put in your .rtorrent.rc.):
# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
# deleted.
#schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=./watch/*.torrent
#schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/home/[user]/watch/*.torrent
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=
schedule = tied_directory,5,5,start_tied=
