International characters causing trouble

[dikkiedirk]

I use sabnzbd to download stuff on my server. Sometimes it happens that downloads dont get processed properly and remain on the server as unpacked rars. When I check these files they always have international characters like an umlaut in the name. I can unpack them from a Windows machine but I rather have sanzbd do it automatically. Has this something to do with how Linux filesystems work, and is there a way to make it work? Like a setting somewhere? Or is sabnzbd to blame?

There's an option in sab to replace illegal characters in filename.  Might help

I only found a setting but that works only on FOLDERnames.
