Thank you so much. It really works. I am in your debt. Again thank you so much. This will help a lot of people. – Centaury

Could you provide an explanation for why adding those extra lines? – Safire

Answer 2

!python -m pip install lbry-libtorrent
!apt install python3-libtorrent
 
import libtorrent as lt
 
ses = lt.session()
ses.listen_on(6881, 6891)
downloads = []

No need ;) !python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Excluding the line!apt install python3-libtorrent, the rest would get the job done. – Safire
