Anyone familiar with python bittorrent?

[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?
