Rename badly named torrent popup
Status: Beta
Brought to you by:

this is NOT I repeat NOT related to the "too many files
open" bug
i get the error that the torrent contains invalid dfata
howeve,r ABC, Shareaza, Azureus were al lable to open &
download the torrent without problem
I would like to post the torrent here, so that it could
be investigated, to my knowledge it is NOT copywrited
material ,however it is of an adult nature so I will
refrain from posting the .torrent file here for now
until someone lets me know it's okay to do so.
this could be a serious issue though.

I've checked out the torrent and the reason why it is
rejected is due to the file name encoded in the torrent - it
begins with a tilde (~). Most bittorrent clients (Official,
ABC, BitTornado - basically anything based on the original
client) reject files beginning with this character (and
others) as they can introduce insecurities when running
under Linux. I'll see if it's possible to update the client
with a 'rename' option for badly named files

Well I wasnt sure, Azerus shareaza & ABC all opened it for
me *shrug* if it's a naming thing then at least it's not
a "major" issue.
FYI greayt work again on the client :)

Converted to a feature request for a popup dialog to allow
the renaming badly named torrents.
