Gnome BitTorrent Downloader is not meant to be an entire front-end, just a program that pops up when you "execute" the torrent files.

Since BitTorrent is written in Python, I figured I'd write this program in Python too; saves a lot of trouble as I already knew Python relatively well.

Requirements:
python-gtk2 (>= 2.4.0) (and all it depends on)
python-gnome2 (>= 2.6.0) (and all it depends on)
python-glade2 (and all it depends on)
python (>= 2.3)
bittorrent (>= 3.2) (>= 3.3 is suggested, however).

What's New in This Release:
I was hoping to stop working on the 0.0.x series quite a while back (I even put it in the README) in anticipation of BitTorrent 4.x and a mythical 0.1.x series. Apparently that didn't work out, so I'm recanting that claim. Sorry for any misunderstandings I've caused.
Messed around with the error dialog implementation to make it much less annoying (now it won't pop up dozens of error dialogs at once). It's far from perfect, but it's still better.
Added a title to the error dialogs to make them play nice them play nice with all window managers as well as fit the new HIG less badly (that used to be what the HIG requested, honestly!).
Modified fix_up_uri and implemented path_origin as URI-only based on a patch from Gary Coady. Hopefully this makes the program a bit more tolerant overall.
Changed KB/s increment to 0.5 from 0.01 (from Debian).
Added Swedish translation by Daniel Nylander (sorry for the wait!).
Added some more Dutch translations from Reinout van Schouwen.
