Does this fix the issue causing me to get lots of, "Failed to find matching episode name."? If so, how do I download your version?

I worked on this trying to solve an issue where the wrong show was matched, since TraktRater only use the title of the TV-show for a match. This caused issues when rating e.g. "Shameless", where the original TraktRater would match my ratings of the US show with the UK version on Trakt.
Implemented this feature to force TraktRater to use IMDB ID's when matching on Trakt. This ensures that the wrong show is not matched, however it also threw a lot of exceptions, because TMDB doesn't always have the IMDB ID listed.

Would assume that this change might solve some of your issues, however for it to work properly, TMDB needs to have the IMDB ID for both show and individual episodes when importing from IMDB to Trakt.

Oh... And regarding download.
I've not made a download available - if this change is not merged with the official release here, I could provide an un-official release for you to test.
