Only runs when directory has write permissions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I prefer to have all code owned root:root. This causes an error with
subdownloader. 

I would like to suggest that you consider putting the code in one place
(and allowing not-write access) and having configuration files in the home
directory.

Thanks for a great util.

"Only runs when directory has write permissions" <- what directory?

Could you be more specific?

Ive put the subdownloader code into the /opt directory. Root is the owner and 
group,
others do not have write permissions. Subdownloader then will not connect to the
server. When I recursively change permissions on the directory to have write
permissions for others, or change the owner to the current user, all is ok.

My suggestion is to have subdownloader write any data that it needs to a 
directory 
in the user's home (perhaps ~/.subdownloader for example), thereby allowing the 
code
to be shared on the system, yet remain unwritable and secure.

This is maybe better labeled a feature request than a bug...

I don't remember any info being writen into the system besides the subtitles, 
but I
don't know exactly how 1.2.9 version works since I wasn't on the team yet.

I'll do some testing on this matter and let this so called feature ship on the 
next
version.

Thanks for the suggestion and any more you have are welcomed.

new 2.0 version uses temporary directories. So this issue should have been 
fixed.

Please report in the future if you keep having it.
