About the bit-torrent protocol support, I asked about yesterday, I would
like to ask again if it will be added to Transfers as part of its features
as Download Manager or will it again be implemented as D-Bus interface in
existing bit-torrent clients with notification in Transfers.

I think the decision will be the same for every case. Transmission
uses gtk+ and is a very awesome torrent client/UI. IIRC it already
even has a D-Bus interface so it might be possible to either modify
that for our needs or add another one to it.

For former, I
couldn't find any good bit-torrent libraries based on C ( only
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libbt/ which again is outdated). I found
some good C++ based libraries, particularly libtorrent which has lot
features and is still being developed.

Yet another reason to implement this in apps then.

Could I also know who will be the mentor(s) for this project?

The wikipage say ebassi so I guess him? It seems you are already in
contact with him too.
