Bug Description
Binary package hint: transmission
In the Files tab of the Details window, file names with special characters such as & and ' get them replaced with XML entity references.
So I have lines such as:
13 - Jammin'.mp3 (6.4MiB)
19 - & The Wailers - I Know A Place.mp3 (7.3MiB)
I though this was the torrent at first, but when I checked the directory, the files are named with & instead of & and ' instead of '.
This is in Hardy. transmission-common and transmission-gtk at 1.06-0ubuntu3.

My first guess is that the .torrent file was created incorrectly. Could you look in the .torrent file to see if it has the string literal "'" in the filename? Alternatively, could you attach the .torrent file so that I can take a look?
The BitTorrent spec doesn't address XML elements at all. It says that the `path' entry in the `files' dictionary "represent(s)" the path and filename, but doesn't discuss what liberties we can take with them.
