Deluge has these features, and its written in pyGTK, but it's not stable
yet.
Its only available in edgy backports and gutsy, does anyone know why?
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=deluge-torrent

If you're using gutsy or edgy, thats quite simple then. If you're using
feisty and want to try it, here are the debs:
i386:
http://download.deluge-torrent.org/ubuntu/feisty/deluge-torrent_0.5.0-2zachtib1_i386.deb
AMD64:
http://download.deluge-torrent.org/ubuntu/feisty/deluge-torrent_0.5.0-2zachtib1_amd64.deb

You can also get the dsc for building with prevu here:
http://download.deluge-torrent.org/ubuntu/src/deluge-torrent_0.5.0-2zachtib1.dsc

I think that when it becomes stable, it could be a candidate for
ubuntu's default bittorrent client.
