 From the page: "Aversa is a little utility for creating and viewing 
BitTorrent metainfo files."

Maybe some useful code, but I think what be even more useful was an 
actual package. I was thinking along the lines of the following feature 
set:

- completely isolated library or backend
- off-line mode (run in background)
- front-end can reconnect to backend
- upload/download cap (max upload setting)
- queueing (max downloads at a time)

It would be cool if the backend serviced frontends through DRB.
