[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get one of the torrents from http://dak180.dynalias.com/PHP/tracker/
2. run Transgui on a Unbuntu 12.04 LTS Machine
3. Select to download the selected torrent and pick where you want to download 
it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Normal Operation.  The program crashes soon as the path for the download is 
selected

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Happened both with 4.x.x and 5.0.1 for linux 64 bit
OS Ubuntu 12.01

Does work fine with Linux Mint 17, 64 bit version

Please provide any additional information below.
Logging into the tranmission machine via ipaddess:9091 shows the torrent 
running.
If the torrent is there very top of the list, transgui will crash soon as it 
runs. (deleting the torrent and data, via the webpage interface of transmission 
will bring transgui back to normal operation)
If one the torrents (http://dak180.dynalias.com/PHP/tracker/) is 2nd or further 
down the list, transgui runs fine.  But if you try to select it to see stats, 
etc.  Transgui crashes.

I think it crashes because the .torrent meta-file file contains a ridiculously 
long comment field of  2178 characters in the case I tried. Try shortening or 
removing the comment field from the raw .torrent file before putting it to 
transmission.

test the .torrent I attach.

here is the comment field for one of their torrents.
