Vote for: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22815 Use a Wine version before a 1.2 RC / revert the relevant patch if you compile Wine yourself.... Other option is to use GrabIt / a native client like SABNZBd+ but their features aren't always the same. http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/ might have worked, but it doesn't contain old enough versions. I can find some old versions here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=&field.series_filter=lucid Gert
