It was a great application once, but for me at least it hasn't worked for the last several months.

I can search for subtitles, but when I try to download one, it always displays the message Unable to download subtitle <subtitle_name>. I checked the folder the .gz file was downloaded to, and it's not a valid archieve. This error/warning message is dumped in the console-

(python:21104): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_progress_configure: assertion 'value >= min && value <= max' failed

(python:21104): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_progress_configure: assertion 'value >= min && value <= max' failed

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/gzip.py", line 190, in _read_gzip_header
    raise IOError, 'Not a gzipped file'
IOError: Not a gzipped file

If this problem is not solvable, could anyone please suggest a alternative that can download subtitles in a bulk, for example for all videos in a folder?

From https://bugs.launchpad.net/subdownloader/+bug/790753 I had a solution:

In the file /usr/share/subdownloader/gui/main.py: Comment line 1143, uncomment the four next lines.
