Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.2.1 / Windows 10 Pro 1903

What is the problem

When downloading torrent-files with spaces in the filename, qBT decides to treat each part of the torrent file as a separate torrent, and tries to load it, which of course doesn't work.

What is the expected behavior

That it loads the file as one file, ie that it doesn't care about spaces in the filename.

Steps to reproduce

Download / load a torrent file with spaces in the filename.

The problem is with your browser which sends wrong data to qB.
You are probably using Firefox. Reset the TORRENT selection and after that dont select a program in Firefox for TORRENT. When opening/downloading a torrent let windows redirect the torrent to qB. Problem solved.

"Let windows redirect"? That doubles the workload.

Why not just fix the problem? Since it has been working fine before. So, what exactly is happening. The file is saved just fine, so what happens when Firefox sends the file with spaces directly to qB? Because, if I download for instance an image file with spaces in the filename, it'll open just fine in an image program, directly from Firefox. So...

No, problem isn't solved.

Are you using the latest version of Firefox? I've seen some other "Firefox" user having the same issue. When user tries to open the .torrent directly in Qbit it fails to load the torrent from the temp directory.
Though I couldn't reproduce the issue.
