Welcome back to the text mode. BTQueue 0.1.0 has been released with build 433. In this version, you don’t need to worry about incorrect filename encoding. Since some torrent maker softwares do not encode filename in UTF-8 as specified clearly in the standard specification, the earlier version of BTQueue created unreadable filenames. This problem is gone forever, you can specify a list of possible encodings to try. In case of you don’t provide the correct encoding, the original filename will be used instead of scrambled one. This global preference is in policy.conf.

default_encoding = shift-jis,tis-620

Otherwise, set by gset command.

gset default_encoding shift-jis,tis-620

Above example means that if the filenames are not encoded in UTF-8, BTQueue will try to decode the filenames in SHIFT-JIS (Japanese) and TIS-620 (Thai), respectively.

Furthermore, the incorrect download statistics for existing files were fixed. Download and upgrade now.
