For automation software, transmission (BitTorrent-client written in python, slow) seems to be the standard.

If it could offer a transmission-compatible API-layer, I bet it would receive much more interest.

Edit: apparently not written in python. My bad.

Nice. Appreciated. Now I clearly have a weekend project.

(Also, what great irony this proxy is written in python, eh?)

It's written by a different person (me). Also Transmission is written in C FYI

[josteink]

Yes. That was what was ironic since I (wrongly) complained about slow python based software.

The first implementation of BitTorrent was written in Python. I don't think it has happened once since, not as any serious attempt anyway.

The clients that use Python today are not slow because they all use rasterbar-libtorrent as a C Python module that performs all of the heavy lifting.

What do I use it for? The README isn't very explanatory.

Transmission is written in c, not python.
