I am having trouble updating the titles file;

wit -t gettitles

Where is the ./share dir? I have read through wit.wiimm.de and can not find any mention of it.
Is it in the same dir as wit? Home dir? It would probably more useful if this error message had an absolute path.
And on the same subject, is there an option to this command to only get the default language titles.txt? Or to specify one? Also, why is it even writing anything? I used the -t option??

EDIT
I think i found it
/usr/share/wit/titles.txt
But it is owned by root
I tried editing the script to save the files in my home dir, but that was useless.
Despite the name of the script, wit does not use it to load the titles. It only uses it to update them.
So, begrudgingly, i had to take ownership of /usr/share/wit.

still got another error, though. I don't think it matters much, though.

How is your script downloading titles.txt with /n endings instead of /r/n??
I don't see anything that is it because it is parsed by wit, first?
Also, what else is wit doing to the titles.txt file?
It is removing 300 titles, but i couldn't see which ones, because when i compared the files, thats when i noticed the line endings.

I see now why i am have such a hard time with comm and diff, even after using tr -d /r;
the tab formating is different. wit is adding an extra space after the id4 titles.
