It's very fast, small and efficient. It's quite basic - you have to run a separate process for each torrent - but you can call it from something else to further customize it. It doesn't do priorities as such (not exactly - you can set max, min peers, rate, etc., for each torrent) or auto-resume, but this could be set fairly easily by writing it into a script. The best thing is that it just works, and as efficiently as possible. - jt
