Bug#502879: azureus: has problems decoding file names in some torrents

[Adrian Perez]

Well, that's not my area of expertise, but in a general fashion, the
decoding of japanese characters is working since one of the japanese
examples worked well. I'll forward your comment upstream, but I think
there's something wrong with the torrent itself, failing to set the
required metadata for clients to interpret that they should be using
UTF8 for decoding the filename.
Do you have experience with another BitTorrent client which is able to
display that particular filename properly?
Thanks for your feedback.
