Is nano-1.3.7 coming to the next DSL?

I recommend rtorrent-0.7 being renamed to rtorrent-0.7.4.

Yea, it used to be called like 'rtorrent-0.7.2.tar.gz' but then rtorrent has a new release once or twice a month.. So I emailed roberts and requested to change the name to just '0.7' =P
Seem to have found a problem with the new rtorrent 0.7.4 version added to the repository testing. First, it still prematurly inflates the torrented files to their full size even if the real disk usage is far less, and more importantly, all files are downloaded as root:root and 777 permissions, unlike the older 0.7.2 version.
File encrypter Brypt submitted.

It's only 17kb, so I'm voting for putting it in the DSL core.. It would be good to have encrypt possibility always at hand..

I seem to have packaged the binary setuid root.
I run as root most of the time and obviously I did it to suit myself. Sorry for this non-standard behaviour, I understand it is a security nightmare for many people. I will try to send in a fixed package ASAP.
