Description
I would like to see column labels in their own row up top and one row per torrent, with all that data within 80 columns. This will be far more dense, so this ticket should likely depend on #58 ("Use colors in the ncurses client"). Also note the opposite, more advantageous use of more space, has been requested in ticket #38 ("text layout on bigger console improvement"). There are still free numbers for views (8, 9, 0), so the current, a wider, and a more concise are all possible.
Note, this faked data is modified from a 90-column session and might not be 100% precise ... but you get my gist:
*** rTorrent 0.7.4 - libTorrent 0.11.4 ***

For reference, an 80-column width is this big: 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

I'm sure with some color and a bit more organization (you're the experts, and you've done such a tremendous job so far), a compact view will be quite usable. I really look forward to seeing ~20 torrents in an 80x24 character screen.
