Bittorrent 4.0

[Frank McCormick]

Hi

  The file is there because when I click on the URL in your mail,
Firefox loads it and calls BTTorrent.
If its installed properly you should be able to call it
from a command line.
I guess when BT was installed on this machine it setup helpers for
Mozilla-firefox.

I tried to get bittorrent 4 installed in my home directory.  When
running it, however, I kept getting an error when running
btdownloadcurses.py <url>:

$ btdownloadcurses.py
http://releases.ubuntu.com/hoary/hoary-preview-install-i386.iso.torrent
('Error reading .torrent file: ', "[Errno 2] No such file or
directory:
'http://releases.ubuntu.com/hoary/hoary-preview-install-i386.iso.torren
t'")

If you manage to get it running, please post your method.
