bittorrent-client is a Python library typically used in Data Processing, Stream Processing applications. bittorrent-client has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However bittorrent-client build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

Sophia Davis Summer 2014. This program uses UDP protocol to connect to one tracker and download files from other peers connected to that tracker. Both single and multi-file torrents are supported. I approached this project as suggested by Kristin Widman in her awesome blog post. For more information, the spec is very useful, as is the unofficial wiki spec. Functions for the initial processing of metainfo files (bencoding, length calculation, etc.) was heavily tested. After that I mostly relied on direct interaction with the tracker and peers.

So far I have been able to send a tracker request and receive a list of peers, whose IP addresses and ports I've stored like this:

Yes, connections to each peer need to maintain an independent set of states to remember what the latest status sent by the remote is.

This is explicitly mentioned in the official bittorrent specification:

Connections contain two bits of state on either end: choked or not, and interested or not.

and on the wiki too:

A client must maintain state information for each connection that it has with a remote peer:
