Version: KTorrent 2.0
Distribution: Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) i386

When creating a new torrent from a file with special characters (such as those with accents like à, ó, etc.), the file name assigned internally is incorrect.

How to reproduce it:

1. Create a file name "Pròvá.zip".
2. In KTorrent, go to File -> New
3. Load Pròvá.zip, add any tracker, select Create and save the torrent with any name.
4. Go to "Uploads" tab.
5. You are uploading a file named "Pròvá.z"!! Additionally, an empty file named "Pròvá.z" is created on the directory where you had "Pròvá.zip".

It removes one character from the file per special character, so, if the file is only "Pròva.zip" (one special character), the resulting file is "Pròva.zi" (one character less than the original name).

This bug really annoys me because I create a lot of torrents with Catalan names, which often include special characters, and I have to create them in other applications, and then add them to KTorrent.

I will take a look at it, probably just using the wrong text encoding somewhere.

OK, it is fixed. It turns out we were using the length of a string before we converted it to UTF-8. We should have used the length of the UTF-8 string.

Thanks a lot!

I'll be waiting for the next version (I'm new to this and I prefer using the Ubuntu packages than compiling from the SVN...)

I discovered the same thing today, just renamed the 2 files to normal characters. Nice that it has been fixed already.
