I just tried to create an empty file named 'btdownload.php?
type=torrent&file=TWIT0003H.mp3.torrent.partial', and I
notice that the '?' has disappeared from the name. Might I
suggest encoding all the 'special' characters in a
filename? '?' isn't allowed in Windows and '&' may be
problematic in Unix, but using % escapes should be OK
everywhere.
