Help on bug fixing

let me quote the author:
"The daemon is capable of running several torrents simultaneously and
only uses one tcp port. It's fairly low on resource usage and should be
perfect for file distribution sites."

I feel the right way to run such a daemon is to make it a system one,
allowing users to add and remove their torrents through the client
interface rather than running a daemon instance themselves.
In short, I want it to act as a server, rather than a client like, say,
Transmission.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm worrying about. ;)

I guess when he has no more torrents to download. :)
Yet I think the script should be used instead. Maybe a patch?!

So I agree. And it looks the bug hardest to solve... ;)

Thanks for your help!
