Apparently bittorrent are required to be utf-8.

I'm not sure if there's a way to make ruby read the unencoded chars,
because then our problem would be solved.

This really isn't even a bug in the library, this is a bug in the
specific file(s), but it would make it a heck of a lot nicer if it
would work despite the faulty torrent files.
