Where are you initiating the download from (search, sharebrowser)? Does
the filename show up properly in the GUI while searching/browsing
share/downloading? If it's in a file list can you extract and open the
file list and ensure the filename is in the encoding that the xml states
in its header (use iconv)? If encoding is missing the parser defaults to
utf-8. It's possible that the file list says it's utf-8 but is actually
in CP1251 or KOI8-R in which case the character conversion will fail for
non-ASCII characters.

Status in Linux DC++: Incomplete

Bug description:
When I start downloading some file with localized characters in the name (for examle "Имя файла - file name.txt"), the incomplete filename appears in incomplete folder but all localized characters are removed (in that case "  - file name.txt.4G3JT4ZPPSIJ64TII7ZOZRRCFHC7PMCYX6GIOGA.dctmp" with 2 spaces in the beginning!). After downloading is complete, it is moved with name still without localized characters ("  - file name.txt").

Hub encoding: cp1251.
Localized characters in my case are cyrrilic.
