bittorrent behaviour

[basil_brush]

I was just looking at the bittorrent python code as I'm thinking of combining it with some other stuff to expand it. Am I right in thinking that bittorrent launches a new python process for every torrent you download? That seems not good for what I want to do; if I've got 500 torrents I want to queue i don't want 500 processes running. Does anyone know if bittorrent can resume a download if the process gets killed?

I know the bit torrents apps I've used allowed the user to power off the computer then restart and continue the bit torrent after a lengthy hashing...Gerard4143

I currently use Azureus (Vuze) but that's Java and it gets slow and unwieldy when you have a lot of torrents queued up. So I was thinking of customing Bittorrent to my work flow. Azureus does maintain the state of downloads and restarts them, I'm just not sure about Bittorrent - it seems more like a command line engine than a full blown app, though I know it as a basic GTK interface included.
