Binary package hint: rott

An error occurs when trying to install the shareware data from the game.
At first, I pressed to cancel to download the shareware data, but the dialog kept coming so I decided to let to download the shareware data. However during the installation process of this download data an error happened as stated in the summary.

The download path needs to change to ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/pub/share/1rott13.zip

[Evgeni Golov (evgeni)]

I've commited the change to the Debian/Ubuntu Games Team SVN, will be there in the next upload.

It's the 9th of August and it still fails. Maybe promoting "shareware" ain't a great idea anyways, if the data files cannot be held in our repos.
