I'd have to look into how rtorrent config works.
In general it's not that hard though.
You'd have to look at some other plugins that have been written for guidance.

What we have to do is just install rtorrent as package in gargoyle using command initially. It can use it's own GUI rutorrent which can be installed after successful installation of the rtorrent.
Re: Rtorrent on TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1
If it has its own GUI then yes use that.
Just don't install any LUCI apps.
I found this tutorial which showed setup with lighttpd. Gargoyle used uhttpd which is reasonably similar.

By the way, if you aren't set on rtorrent, someone wrote a tutorial for "transmission" a while ago which is a different torrent client.

Re: Rtorrent on TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1
Personally I like Deluge. I have used both rtorrent and deluge on synology Nas. Found deluge was much easier to setup.
I have setup rtorrent 4th time on openwrt successfully but the issue is installing rutorrent breaks everthing, it just takes over the router ip 192.168.1.1.
Typing in 192.168.1.1:80 redirects to rutorrent which is not connected to the rtorrent.
same is the case with 192.168.1.1:9092
and everything on openwrt is bit messy, e.g just to format my USB to ext4 I had to download the MiniTool Partition Wizard Free. which was as easy as two clicks in gargoyle.
so can I go this route
1.Install rtorrent using this command on gargoyle
2. Make rtorrent.rc file using
3. Edit it using WinScp, (Vi just sucks and nano is an extra step)
and copy the following setting
replace /mnt/sda2/downloads/ with your download folder
and /mnt/sda2/rtorrent/session/ with your session folder which you can create using winscp
4. Open winscp as before go to mnt and your sda1 or whatever and create folders downloads and rtorrent. Within rtorrent create another session folder.
5. Create create an autostart script, /etc/init.d/rtorrent using the command
add the following code using winscp as before
6. enable autostart and start rtorrent service One line at a time
7. Check using command
8. Install Rutorrent
