First up I will not claim to know how to use this application as I can manage the vast majority of my downloads with just the plain "wget" tool. So I'm not sure whether what I've found still applies when this application is actually used.
There seems to have been a change in the code between v0.4.5 and the most recent v0.4.7 that renders the Qt GUI unusable (e.g. see class 'ConnectionManager' in file 'module/gui/ConnectionManager.py'). I take it the web interface in now the preferred GUI instead.
So all I had to do was (as Juanito had essentially already written in reply #1):
tce-load -wi pycurl ; tar xf unzip pyload-src-v0.4.7.zip ; cd pyloadI then had to run
python pyLoadCore.py twice as the first time was just to configure the application (where in my little test I always accepted the defaults, apart from the question of the password, where I choose '1111' to make things as easy as possible).
With the background process now running I installed a browser and connected to the web interface e.g. via:
tce-load -wi opera9 ; opera http://localhost:8000(please note the use of the appropriate port, e.g. the default value of 8000). After entering the credentials (as specified during the set up run, e.g. for the default user called 'User') I was able to see what I believe is the web interface of this application.
I like to think this is now more then enough detail for anyone to try again.
EDIT: correction of a minor typo at browser extension name
