Hi
Which version of python is necessary to run BitTornado. On debian stable I have python 2.1.3 and version 0.3.3 does not want to work. I think that debian stable is rather popular on server machines and it would be good if command lline versions could work there. It is often easy or possible to change a python veriosn on a server.

Hmm.... i never installed Python on my system i wonder about this as well.

I believe BitTornado will run on Python 2.1. If not, please tell me any exceptions that are popping up and I will attempt to fix them.

With python 2.1.3 (debian stable) I was getting this error on 0.3.1:
I was using the curses client, so I edited out all the icon stuff and it worked fine. But in 0.3.3 & 4 there's this:
... maybe it needs a newer python version now. or it could just be this build of python. don't really know.

Okay, try the following changes, see if they work, please:

Hi
I have applied the two changes and it works now on Python 2.1.3(debian stable). Thank for the fix!

Okay, changes will be applied to the next release. Thank you for testing.

Hi.
There is one more problem when the torrent is big I get the following error:
File "/home/roman/pkg/BitTornado-0.3.4.fix/btdownloadcurses.py", line 401, in ?
curses_wrapper(run, errlist, argv[1:])
File "/usr/lib/python2.1/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
res = apply(func, (stdscr,) + rest)

if not dow.saveAs(d.chooseFile):
File "./BitTornado/download_bt1.py", line 373, in saveAs
OverflowError: integer addition

It must be the problem with >4GB size I think...

Thanks, I'll fix that.
