Here is a link for a problematic torrent (the problematic file name is the TNG 4 11 one which has a é character inside, replaced with a_)

http://torrents.torrentfrancais.com/h/hogv6immf62i0zo8r4zx1kfhx1a.torrent2.torrent

Note that the problem occured when switching from qbittorrent 3.0.8 to 3.0.9, because the list of file names in torrents was modified, maybe no problem would have occured if I had only used v3.0.9 since the beginning.

I'm actually not sure if it is.
Try: http://www.tools4noobs.com/online_tools/torrent_decode/

TNG 4-11 Une journ�e de Data.avi

That's what I see. I was able to create a torrent with é and add it correctly. My guess is that this particular torrent has wrong encoding.

You maybe are right. 0.16.8 reports it as journée and utorrent as journιe

@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Mar 18, 2013): You maybe are right. 0.16.8 reports it as **journée** and utorrent as **journιe**

Closing as WontFix. See the libtorrent issue as to why.
For a temporary solution you could try this:

Keep a copy of the TNG 4-11 file
On the content tab right-click on the TNG 4-11 file and select "rename"
Rename it to the original name (the one with the é)
Do a force recheck for qbt to pick up this file. (maybe force recheck is not needed)
