Is this at all possible, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Of all the rtorrent frontends, n2hell is by far the nicest. That being
said, while the current usage is quick and easy, I was wondering if
there was a way for this to be run from my webserver so I can access
it from anywhere rather than having to either carry the n2hell package
with me or downloading it to every PC I access from.

I was hoping to find a way to have it act similar to that of the
uTorrent GUI where I can simply access it by URL.

So.. is this at all possible? :)

Thanks.

Hi and thank you for your compliments to n2hell =)
you have 3 options to use n2hell publicly
1. n2hell itself. In http settings write your public ip. n2hell will
bind to this address after restart.
2. use n2hell servlets under any 1.3 compliant java servlet container
(tomcat, jetty, etc). If you choose this option, let me know - I'll
build war package for you.
3. use apache's mod_proxy or light httpd proxy as a bridge between
n2hell instance and outside world (in this case you have to disable
n2hell built-in authorization and use apache's security)

also I should probably let you know about current limitations to
n2hell usage:
1. currently n2hell passes all requests to rtorrent, so multiple
simultaneous requests can crash rtorrent
2. currently n2hell can serve only one instance of rtorrent.
