           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

I am playing Civilization V via Steam and in general it works really well.  The
number one issue I am facing is the inability to download mods for the game. 
When I mouse over the download button, the text "Cannot download because
Microsoft BITS has not been started." comes up.  When I start the BITS service
via "wine net start bits" in another window and then stop and restart Civ and
try to download a mod, I still get the same message.  When I stop the
wineserver entirely, start the BITS service as mentioned above, start Steam
from the command line in a different window than that of the BITS service, and
start Civ, I *still* get the same message.

describes another person's attempt to do the same thing.

Please let me know if there's more I can do to assist you guys in fixing this! 
Thanks!
