Torrentocracy 0.0.5 is now available (tarball):

* The black torrent status window now actually has a purpose. It displays the name of a torrent associated with an entry and whether the torrent is ACTIVE/inactive. In general, I just wanted to get some rudimentary functionality working here, but the eventual goal is a real time update with real download stats.

* The "Stop Torrent" button now functions. It currently just deletes the .torrent file from the /active directory. When I figure out how to do a move in QT, I'll likely switch this such that it moves the .torrent to the /inactive directory instead of outright deleting it.

* Updated the README to include explicit directions on what needs to be added to the MythTV main menu and MythTV setup menu so that you can reach Torrentocracy within Myth.

This will probably be all the development I get to until I get back from Chicago on Sunday (seeing Phish). Hopefully I'll get some CVS access up next week.

Just installed 0.0.5. When I select a torrent, the start and stop buttons are disabled. If I press the menu button, they become enabled, but I can't press them. What key do I use to start a torrent?

I've got it set up for SELECT on my remote to work, but looks like I need to test the enter key on my keyboard.
