Opera 11.60 and Sabnzbd+ - anyone else have it stop working on Windows 7?

It never worked on Win7 with localhost:8085, but used to work with http://[::1]:8085/ in 11.52. Now it gives: Invalid URL

The URL http://[::1]:8085/ contains characters that are not valid in the location they are found.
The reason for the problem may be a mistyped URL, but the URL may also be an attempt to trick you into visiting a website which you might mistake for a site you trust.

Why? What must I do to get it to use the IPv6 or to get it to find sabnzbd at localhost:8085? This is Win7 specific, it worked ok on XP. Sabnzbd claims it's an Opera problem in their FAQ: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc9, but other localhost programs do work... Anyway, is there a way to get this working without reverting to 11.52?

Ok, I guess I freaked out too soon. If you are having an issue, update to 0.6.12, and then use localhost:port rather than the IPv6 version... Though why Opera suddenly decided that was an invalid address, I don't know.

I have the same problem, I saw the notification for 0.6.12 but there was a not a compiled version available, now it has disappeared from source forge?

Why dosnt Opera work with normal localhost?

And apparently never update sabnzbd again from 0.6.12 if you are on Win7, because the devs are removing the fix ... I have no idea why:

Ok to get working go to the "Host" field in Config->General (in sabnzbd) and set it to your machines IP. (save then restart)

Now I have 0.6.14 working with Opera 10.60.

Just make sure to set your firewall appropriately so random outside people aren't connecting to your SABNZBD+ instance...
