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

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

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.
