Aha - bittornado-gui is the package name on Ubuntu.  The thing keeps
asking me for a *.torrent file and then pops up a usage dialog and
crashes when I press Cancel.  I've never really used a bittorrent
before, though, so I might be doing something wrong.

Hmmm...very interesting.  This is probably worth filing as a bug.

I definitely appreciate your concern here.  The fact that you're showing
concern shows that you probably wouldn't be an abuser of the bug
system.  :-)

Thanks!
