Comment 1 for bug 336986

What is the destination folder set in qBittorrent preferences? As a default, it should be "~/qBT_dir".
Do you have torrents that are currently downloading? do they have unicode characters in their filename?

qBittorrent handles unicode just fine. I'm not quite sure what the problem is just yet. I'm using jaunty too. I will try using the packages shipped in jaunty and see if I can reproduce.
