Bug ID: 418873
Summary: For .torrent files with file names in cyrillic
win-cp1251 encoding, KTorrent creates files with UTF8
replacement symbols EF BF BD
Product: ktorrent
Version: 5.1
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: joris.guis...@gmail.com

( copy of the .torrent file from
https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1587139 )
SUMMARY
This particular .torrent file I downloaded from
https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1587139 . I am attaching its copy
created by KTorrent in ~/.local/share/ktorrent/tor1/torrent . When I give it to
KTorrent to download, it creates all files and folders with every cyrillic char
replaced into UTF8 EF BF BD sequence (
https://apps.timwhitlock.info/unicode/inspect?s=%EF%BF%BD ). When I view
torrent file with 'less', I see inside UTF8 Cyrillic names for every file,
along with (I suppose) same name encoded in Windows cp1251.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get .torrent file from the URL above, or use attached copy
2. Ask KTorrent to download files&folders according to this .torrent
3. Look within the resulting files&folders tree
OBSERVED RESULT
When I do 'find', 'ls' or 'pwd' in the downloaded file&folder tree, I see
question marks inside diamond or hexagonal shapes. When I pipe that through
'xxd', I see these UTF8 triples, EF BF BD, repeated for every such char
EXPECTED RESULT
Files and folders should be properly named according to their UTF8 names
specified inside .torrent file. cp1251-encoded names should be either ignored,
or converted into UTF8, or (the least of evils) created in the filesystem as
cp1251 byte sequences which could then be renamed into their UTF8 equivalents
with some additional script
