  • Severity changed from minor to major
  • Type set to defect

transmission crashes whenever i try removing a gbk-encoded torrent. the removal only works if the torrent was added but not yet started. once started, even if paused, removal causes crash and only way to remove is to first remove the data dir/file of the torrent.

  • Keywords patch added

attached a simple patch that looks for name.utf-8 and path.utf-8 first. this is most likely to be correctly encoded if the torrent was created by the likes of bitcomet. when present, there is no crash and the torrent functions properly.
