bittorrent consuming 100% cpu

[Andy Greenwood]

I'd recommend transmission. You can get the source from
http://transmission.m0k.org/. You can configure it for console use
with

./configure --disable-gtk && gmake. It needs GNU make, BSD make won't
work. Uses very little resources as it's written in C, so your python
port won't matter.
