Lngrange function not working as desired in download.py

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
 1.Turn on computer.
 2.Make cup of tea
 3.Using Ubuntu 10.04 utilizing 'download.py' and the switches --latrange=2000(.0) --lngrange=1500(.0) Exact variables below....

./download.py --threads=50 --location="Lichfield, UK" --min-zoom=5 --max-zoom=5 
--satellite --latrange=2000.0 --lngrange=1500.0 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect, if its not too much to ask (i joke haha ;) to download the range as 
requested by the parameters. What actually happens is the full-range is 
downloaded instead, defo on lngrange, not absolutely sure about latrange.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.7.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook version.

Please provide any additional information below.

The numbers '172' can be found on the back of the U.S. $5 dollar bill in the 
bushes at the base of the Lincoln Memorial. ;)

You might want to try with smaller numbers for the range, like:
./download.py --threads=50 --location="Lichfield, UK" --min-zoom=5 --max-zoom=5 
--satellite --latrange=1 --lngrange=1

those are not KM I guess they are degrees and the default is set to 0.05

I just scoped out some of the coding and cracked it. You can still use the 
width and height argument instead of latrange and longrange..saves me having to 
type a few extra characters anyways!! ;)

For those using commandline arguments using --height= & --width= as fixed 
parameters is a viable and workable solution!!!!

This is somewhat confusing dude as when using the gui the variables are in km's 
but when using download.py this same value changes to degrees/minutes/seconds 
e.t.c? Perhaps having a uniform/consistent value for both gui and cli might be 
an idea? Just a thought anyways. 

Cheers

Yes,  --height= & --width= are also options to the download.py

I guess we should update the file:
