 You might try upgrading to the latest version (0.3.17-1), just to be
 sure this isn't fixed in the new upstream.
 
  This bug seems to be affecting the non-curses version of btlaunchmany (i.e. 
  /usr/bin/btlaunchmany). The only way to exit this application seems to be a 
  SIGTERM, which apparently doesn't let the shutdown call be reached.
 
 Your problem is probably stemming from your exiting from btlaunchmany
 abnormally (i.e. without a SIGINT using Control-C, which is the normal
 way to exit). Have you tried using a SIGINT/Control-C to exit? If that
 doesn't work, then this is a separate problem from this bug. You may
 want to create a new bug report containing information about why you
 can't use a SIGINT/Control-C to exit. If you're running btlaunchmany
 in screen though, that could also explain the problem, as there is a
 definite problem with bittornado and screen (there are already bugs
 for that).

You are absolutely right, I should have been sending it a SIGINT.
However, that's not obvious when you're running a headless application
on the background. I'll look into adding that information to the
manpage, or patching the application to handle SIGTERM gracefully when
the latest version hits testing in ‒most likely‒ a couple days.

Thanks,

This bug seems to be affecting the non-curses version of btlaunchmany (i.e. 
/usr/bin/btlaunchmany). The only way to exit this application seems to be a 
SIGTERM, which apparently doesn't let the shutdown call be reached.

I don't use the curses version, as the whole point for me of using bittornado 
is that I can leave it running unattended on a headless server.

Unfortunately I'm not versed in Python system programming to the level where I 
can suggest a solution or supply a patch. Maybe it can trap the signal and 
start a clean cleanup?
