Another data point - tried to download CentOS 4.1 i386 DVD  with
btdownloadcurses.py and it hung with ~99% cpu usage and with the
terminal window "frozen" - no refresh, no response to q, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z.

Killed from another window, restarted at it hung similarly at ~35%
through checking the existing file.  Did yum remove "yum remove python-
khashmir bittorrent bittorrent-gui" and installed the "Official" version
from http://www.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-4.1.2-1.noarch.rpm

Restarted btdownloadcurses.py, check file and DL finished short order,
and am now seeding the file from here.

Moral of the story - upgrade is in order.
