I remarked that if the dn parameter of magnet links includes the & character, the & itself and all the following part are dropped from the file name, including the file extension, when the link is given to Sharelin-0.1.8 running on Ubuntu Karmic amd64. For instance, let's consider
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:J7QIPCUMXYM5Q2EE67VGY32E3IUHB2CU&xt=urn:tree:tiger:V3TX4B7VY5J5RNL5Q6BLDU7FCJISRYBP7ZZ4RZA&xt=urn:ed2k:2d2ca09a1ce36cd2a139d9170a9c1921&xl=3087834&dn=Acts_of_the_Apostles_&_I_like_it.pdf
for which I added "_&_I_like_it" to the file name. For Sharelin, the file name will be displayed as "Acts_of_the_Apostles_" instead of "Acts_of_the_Apostles_&_I_like_it.pdf".
This doesn't occur with eDonkey links, for example
ed2k://|file|Acts_of_the_Apostles_&_I_like_it.pdf|3087834|2d2ca09a1ce36cd2a139d9170a9c1921|/ works fine.
Of course this really is not a big deal, but I just wanted to report it in case it would be useful in some way.

if I am not mistaken that character should be encoded as
