Comment 19 for bug 790753

start xterm or similar CLI terminal, enter:

sudo nano /usr/share/subdownloader/gui/main.py

find using CTRL+W this line:

osHttpRequests.download('http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/download/file/%s.gz'
%sub.getIdFileOnline(), destinationPath)

and replace it with:

self.OSDBServer.DownloadSubtitles({sub.getIdFileOnline():destinationPath})

CTRL+O to write, CTRL+X to exit & start the app

Hope this helps! Cheers, Filip 😆
