Description abcdefg 2005-04-01 09:49:14 UTC

Hi, 

As described in bug report #66072 net-p2p/bittorrent crashes when trying to show the donate screen. It doesn't only show the donate screen by clicking at about but also sometimes when the program starts. In my opinion that is adware and that is why I think it should be masked.

Thanks,
David

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge bittorrent
start btdownloadgui.py a couple of times
Actual Results:  
It redirected me to http://www.bittorrent.com/donate.html and crashed

Expected Results:  
Should just have runned instead of redirecting me to a donate page. If he wants
money for it that's fine by me but than just sell it, don't beg for donations

Then don't use the software. It's your decision. Gentoo has no such policy.
