qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBIttorent: 4.6.0beta1
OS: Linux
libtorrent-rasterbar: v1.2

What is the problem?

If some files in torrent-file have name on wrong codepage, their symbols changes to "__". So, if we have several files with same name length - their all will be merged in one file.

That's example of such torrent: https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=430067

What "codepage" do you talk about? Filenames are required to be UTF-8 encoded according to BitTorrent specifications.

i don't know, it's just assumption. So, may be when opening torrent-file this symbols should be converted to utf-8 as is? not just "__"
