Well, as i said, I just installed bittorrent today, so I'm certainly no 
expert.  Maybe someone else can provide more concise information.

Are you using Mozilla?  Does your script work?  If it does, exactly what

Seems like it should be fine if it works.  You know what they say..."If it 
works, don't fix it."  :-)
