  • High performance C++ core with Python bindings
  • Supports DHT, UPnP, and NAT-PMP for connectivity
  • Comprehensive protocol support including magnet links
  • Configurable bandwidth management and queuing

Alternatives:
  • go-libtorrent – Go bindings for the same C++ library
  • transmission – Full client implementation rather than a library
