No authentification username and pass must be set to None

Bug Description

If no authentication is set on the FirstRun Assistant, LottaNZB sets username and password to "" (empty string). But, as mentionned in the /etc/hellanzb.conf file :

# Set both the username and password to 'None' (without the quotes) if your
# usenet server does not require authorization

For the moment, the method used is :

if not requiresAuth:
                self.serverfields[fieldName].set_text('')

This should be fixed to set a None value to both username and password (cause actually, HellaNZB doesn't connect to server)

This bug is back in the 0.3 release. The user name and password are both set to "" in the hellanzb.conf file, therefore it never connects to my newserver and nothing ever gets downloaded. :-(

Oh my. We should have done more testing before releasing LottaNZB 0.3. :-) We need to fix this as soon as possible and release LottaNZB 0.3.1, which will contain both a fix for this bug and bug #245787.

BTW, for those following this bug report (and don't have a user/pass for their news server), a simple workaround for now is to manually edit ~/.lottanzb/hellanzb.conf and make sure your user and password are set as follows:

username = None, password = None
