What? My Bittorrent Client ain't working?

And that is the thought i woke up to. Apparently, when i restarted last night, Azureus shat the bed. This morning whenever i opened it, it would load up, give me my little welcome dialog and then immediately close down. Well, thankfully someone in the Ubuntu forums figured it out... Azureus tries to upgrade its own java package... well because we are in a secure environment (linux) it can't.
pooooooooooooooor Azureus...

So.. here is what you do Download the JAR and then get your terminal open (did i mention i'm test driving KDE for a week or two? goooooooooooooooo Konsole!)

and go to wherever you downloaded the file (for me: $ cd /home/m/Desktop/)
and then move the file to your shared java folder (and rename it Azureus2.jar)
$ sudo mv Azureus2.5.0.4.jar /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar

Azureus should be working happily once again.
