'k, I looked at the server based on your report, and everything looks fine 
... so, can you let me know how to reproduce the problem you are seeing?

tar up what directory?  its the bittorrent binaries that I'm concerned 
about ... at some point, they merged all the various "utilities" into one 
'bittorrent' script ... there is no longer a 'btlaunchmany.py' script, for 
instance ...

And not sure what you are talking about concerning 'a year', but 
bittorrent was originally installed back in Nov of '03, according to the 
file stamps:

# ls -lt bt*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  5833 Nov 24  2003 btmakemetafile.pyc
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  6385 Nov 15  2003 btdownloadheadless.pyc
