Here's my guess:
Look at btdownloadgui.py near line 265. You'll see something like:
def next(params, d, doneflag):
try:
p =3D join(split(argv[0])[0], 'donated')
if not exists(p) and long(time()) % 3 =3D=3D 0:
open_new('http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/donate.html')
dlg =3D wxMessageDialog(d.frame, 'BitTorrent is Donation su=
pported software. ' +
Now, it appears that the "p" variable will end up looking something like:
bdonatedtdonatedddonatedodonatedwdonatedndonatedldonatedodonatedadonate=
dddonatedgdonatedudonatedidonated.donatedpdonatedy
("btdownloadgui.py" with "donated" inserted between each character). If a
file by that name exists (what directory? I have no idea!), then you won't
get the nag screen.
Alternatively, would it be so hard to click "Yes, I've donated" and let the
program create the file itself?
