Is there any bittorrent client or (Java|Python|Ruby|Perl) library that I can use like wget or curl?
I would like to use simply as a step in a script, like you would use wget.
EDIT: Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm using Ubuntu.

Download torrents on Linux. Supporting 64-bit or 32-bit for Debian or Ubuntu, find the right BitTorrent Linux torrent client to download.
Downloading Multiple Files If you want to download multiple files at once, use the -i option followed by the path to a local or external file containing a list of the URLs to be downloaded. Each URL needs to be on a separate line. If you specify - as a filename, URLs will be read from the standard input.
wget solution doesn't download one file in multiple threads: The options used -r is recursive, -np ( --no-parent ) — don't ascend to the parent directory, -N ( --timestamping ) — don't re-retrieve files unless newer than local. But wget would definitely work if you're downloading a mirror of a site.
Wget is a networking command-line tool that lets you download files and interact with REST APIs. It supports the HTTP , HTTPS , FTP , and FTPS internet protocols. Wget can deal with unstable and slow network connections. In the event of a download failure, Wget keeps trying until the entire file has been retrieved.

You can load torrents in rtorrent from the command line.
wget terminates after a download. You can add the exit command to the on_finished event in your .rtorrent.rc.
If you need to run the application in the background, you can use the screen management utility, or the & operator.
If you want to watch the file download, you would simply omit the screen management.
Another solution is to get rtorrent to watch a directory for torrents. When a download is complete, you can specify which directory it will get moved to. To start a download, you move your file into the watch directory with your script, and check for its completion status by checking the "completed" directory for files.
