A restart may actually get you a different set of peers and better 
download speeds. I'd be inclined to try it myself. You'll not be 
starting the download again, and will just lose the "chunks" (usually 
256K in size) that were in progress at the time you stopped.

Someone on fedora-list is getting the tracebacks too. Which version of 
bittorrent are you using, and where did you get it?
