[Bug 305915] [NEW] d4x can't handle certain (numeric) urls (does not add them to list/queue)

[OzzyFrank]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: d4x

Hi. I don't think this is a dupe of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/d4x/+bug/268913 ("d4x cannot
handle urls that contain ~ and some other characters allowed by HTTP")
with fix instructions
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17531907/locstr.cc.diff I am not sure how
to implement anyway. My problem is that all of a sudden it wasn't adding
urls at all, but admittedly it was from one site and the urls are
numeric like http://174.36.1.2/progex.7z. I tried a "normal" download
link with words instead of numbers and it was added fine. But I just
came across another bug while copying the url that I just pasted - up
popped the box to add a download as usual, so I thought I'd OK it to see
if it was successfully added after adding the download via a "normal"
url, and now the queue is empty again!

Another thing I should report is that at the top of the left pane under
"Main" the number of downloads keeps increasing with each one I add, but
will be reset to zero on the next program restart. I can confirm it
isn't like I just can't see them as most of the options in the Download
menu are inactive (just like if the list was empty).

And as I said, now trying to add one of those urls results in the whole
list being wiped. I hadn't actually started the download I added
successfully before it was wiped, and this may have made a difference,
as when this started I still had one unfinished download and it wasn't
wiped but finished successfully. I can also report that restarting the
program finds the list empty of those added successfully after trying to
add ones like http://174.36.1.2/progex.7z the previous time. That's
about it I think.

If the fix mentioned at the top is the answer (or needs to be edited to
include numerical values) any help would be appreciated.
