ktorrent version 2.2rc1 and older have a problem. I believe torrents that have certain characters [especially brackets] in the filenames cause problems. For instance I get the following in the log output:

Cannot symlink /home/smitty/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor6/cache/CHRONOCROSScd2.iso to /home/smitty/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor6/dnd/CHRONOCROSScd2.iso.dnd: No such file or directory

Error : Cannot symlink /home/smitty/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor6/cache/Simpsons Season 07 - Complete [kl0wnz]/kl0wnz Upload - Read Me.txt to /SHARED_P2P/Bittorrent/Downloads/Simpsons Complete Seasons 1-17 [kl0wnz]/Simpsons Season 07 - Complete [kl0wnz]/kl0wnz Upload - Read Me.txt: No such file or directory


The Simpsons and the Chronocross torrent both have [brackets] in the filenames. I haven't seen problems with any torrents without the brackets.

When checking the chunks of the files, ktorrent can not see any finished chunks and when deleting the torrent and files they do not get deleted as it seems ktorrent doesn't even see them.

It has nothing to do with [ ]

Anyway, I have just fixed this
