I hope you read the response to your comments at http://www.lottanzb.org/2009/09/re-how-not-to-release-software/ .

A minor correction regarding this post: LottaNZB 0.5 requires GTK 2.16 and not PyGTK 2.16. This isn’t the same. For example, Ubuntu 9.04 comes with GTK 2.16 and PyGTK 2.14 and runs LottaNZB just fine.

I agree – it’s your project – it’s your world.

I just cremated Windows over a year ago, it’s dead to me… and was so grateful for this project when I needed something to replace NewsLeecher (which I should point out still works really well via WiNE, but goes unused in favour of LottaNZB).

I also really appreciate that this project is actively developed on and is constantly evolving into the Ultimate UseNet (+ NZB) Grabber. I’m impressed that you’re making the switch from the extinct HellaNZB to SABszbd (it takes a lot of work, so well done). Of course SABnzbd ROCKS!!! I’ve just installed it and tried the Web Interface = Wicked, but I also want a ‘solid’ application as a front-end (& not just Firefox), so I’ll be following this project (forever!).

Thanx

Well, I’m sure nobody blames you specifically. You’re working on this project in your own time, and nobody expects you to cover everything.

The only critic you really need to pay attention to is yourself, everything else is secondary. It’s awesome that you’ve decided to work toward supporting 8.04, but don’t be too critical on yourself. It’s your project.
