Yes, I have seen this. In my case, strings with umlauts would show *up until* the umlaut. Like this: En_jättebra_divxfilm.avi would become En_j ... and then nothing. This problem also cause dc_gui to not be able to use those strings (eg, right-ckick and download the files.) I didn't find a solution. However, DC++ works really well under Wine. I don't recall the versions of the software components I used, but time-wise, this was about 6 months ago, and I usually do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade once a week. I'd love to see this problem solved though. Btw, isn't this a swedish list? /Fredrik Persson
