Unicode Error on opening Torrent

[LKRaider]

On Xubuntu 6.06, fully updated:

While trying to open a Torrent that includes text in german (with letters like ä), upon selecting where to save the download, the following error was displayed:

BitTorrent T-0.3.13 (BitTornado)
OS: linux2
Python version: 2.4.3 (#2, Oct 6 2006, 07:52:30)
[GCC 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)]
wxWindows version: 2.6.1.2pre

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui", line 476, in onInvoke
    apply(event.func, event.args, event.kwargs)
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui", line 2019, in onChooseFile
    if d2 == default:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 16: ordinal not in range(128)

I can upload the Torrent file if needed, or link to it.
