Porting debtorrent to C/C++

I don't know why python couldn't handle the "load" correctly, the original
bit torrent is in python.

Having said that I turned off debtorrent on my hardy box for now pending an
unrelated idling bug[1], but before I got it uninstalled it I was nervous of
the 122 Mb of ram it was taking up as this is a desktop system.

According to Debtorrent's local web server it never actually connected to
anything but 1 seeder.  Would that just be regular http?

And how is Debtorrent in Hardy if this bug still exists[2]?

Also, as a side note I successfully used debtorrent as a cache server for
several machines as a test. It definitely makes more sense to use debtorrent
for an always on cache server as opposed to apt-cache.
