No need to involve bittorrent. But please let's not derail this thread, this is not about other solutions for faster block download or such, let's keep it focused.

Not sure about C++, but simple torrent client in python is l= ike 30 lines of code (using libtorrent).

Parallel block download would be better for that. No need to invo= lve bittorrent.
