#2898: deluged-1.3.13/libtorrent-1.1.0 messes up torrent directory names

-----------------------+----------------------------
I've been using Deluge 1.3.12 with libtorrent 1.0.7 on Debian Sid for
quite some time. Recently Debian Sid upgraded to Deluge 1.3.13 and
libtorrent 1.1.0. When I restarted Deluge on my existing torrents, I
noticed that the directory names on some of my torrents were badly messed
up. Specifically, Deluge seemed to add spurious slashes in the middle of
top-level torrent directory names at random for no apparent reason.
For example, say that a torrent has the following top-level directory name
(i.e. the name of the directory inside the torrent itself):
"Foo - Bar - Baz"
For no apparent reason, that name changed to the following when the new
version of deluged/libtorrent loaded the torrent:
"Foo/- Bar - Baz"
Basically the name is corrupted - a space was replaced by a slash, and I
ended up with a subdirectory. It seems like, for some reason, it's only
spaces or dots that get replaced by slashes. This is *very* weird.
Additional information:
- Obviously this prevented the affected torrents from starting, since
Deluge couldn't find the data using the wrong path.
- This only happened on a small subset (around 2%) of my torrents. I
couldn't determine why these torrents were affected but not others - it
seemed random. There were plenty of unaffected torrents using similar
naming schemes.
- If I downgrade libtorrent to 1.0.9 (keeping deluged-1.3.13), the problem
goes away. This seems to indicate a regression was introduced between
libtorrent 1.0.9 and 1.1.0.
- I cannot use the rename functionality to try to fix the problem - it
behaves very erratically on these corrupted torrents and basically refuses
to rename the directory, or even manages to somehow corrupt the torrent
itself (e.g. bencode complaining that end-of-file was reached).
- None of my torrents use the top-level original directory name from the
original torrent. I always rename every torrent with a custom top-level
directory name immediately after I add them. Maybe this has something to
do with the issue.
