bittorrent trouble =[


when I try downloading some files via bittorrent I sometimes get this error message :

Code:
BitTorrent T-0.3.17 (BitTornado)
OS: linux2
Python version: 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May  2 2007, 16:56:35) 
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)]
wxWindows version: 2.6.3.2

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui", line 2323, in _next
    savedas = dow.saveAs(choosefile, d.newpath)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/BitTornado/download_bt1.py", line 439, in saveAs
    n = path.join(n, i)
  File "posixpath.py", line 65, in join
    path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd1 in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)
it doesn't happen all the time but just with some torrents, I was wondering how I can stop this from happening as it wont let me download the given file as a result of that error message.

Try using one of the other bittorrent clients like Ktorrent. I read on their website that utorrent runs in wine.
