Multi user rtorrent + rutorrent server

I complied this guide and hope this will aid people with their server setups. If you notice anything that should be changed to make it more efficient please let me know and I will edit as needed.

Please note you need to change the user1, user2, etc to the users you want to install on. They appear throughout the guide so please don't copy and paste blindly. Another area you will need to be sure to change the "users" is the lighttpd.conf .rtorrent.rc .auth files where it says pass you need to create their passwords.
