So far, all of the torrent clients I've tried (Transmission, rtorrent, deluge) have lacked the essential (for me) feature to re-name and re-target files and directories within that torrent. I'm coming from Azureus/Vuze running on a powerful Windows machine, so I understand that I'll be losing some features, but I can't figure out why this one would consume so many resources. Does any torrent client (daemon) exist that could run on the DNS and support this?

Wouldn't that confuse the other people downloading the same torrent if it were renamed? Why not just receive it and then rename it, what's the big deal?

Receiving it and renaming it would work fine, except in the aforementioned programs, I couldn't still seed it. But, renaming it shouldn't affect the torrent - the torrent's file name should just be like a symbolic link to the actual location/name of the file/directory.

Seeding was what I was referring to. ;)

Assuming you're referring to the bolded part: it wouldn't confuse the leechers because the torrent program stores links between files in the torrent and their actual names/locations. So, the renaming would only take place on my system.
But, if you're referring to the other part, I don't know of a torrent client that lets me move/rename files within the application. I know I could try to accomplish this by managing my own symbolic links, but that would get crazy.
