I agree with this, btdownloadcurses does not work.  An extraordinary
coincidence the first file reported as not there actually isn't there.
I've just checked again and it's still not there.

As I said, it's moved on and I haven't kept up.  I prefer 2.X as it seems
more focused on torrents with less of the features I don't want.  2.5
didn't stop working just because 3.0 was introduced.
