I sometimes download torrents from a Chinese site and they contain weird characters in filenames (both the torrent itself, as within the torrent).
First, this gave me a UnicodeEncodeError by wxPython, which makes sense because I was using POSIX as my locale. But now I made my whole system unicode compliant, this error is gone yet Rufus still doesnt start the torrent (doesn't give an error msg anymore either).
It might be the way that Rufus interacts with the Linux filesystem. I initially wrote the UTF-8 supprt for windows and LeoXV tested it with Linux and it seemed to work OK at the time. I'll see what I can do.

This may be a wxPython issue, but I'm not sure...

Take for example this torrent:
http://bt.imagegarden.net/showtorrent_32157.html
(click on the button to download)
Can someone using linux please try to start it?
PS It is not a linux issue as such, since Azureus has no problem with these files.
Thanks for any help,
