torrents and Kanji

ok, I have searched in the other threads on torrents but there is none that corresponds to my problem, so here it is.....
I use Utorrent, and when I try to download a torrent with chinese or japanese characters after a few moment ( that is specifically when it is trying to save the first part of the downloaded file on my disk) it says there is an error.
I checked and I notice that , before starting download, the torrent asks me if I want to save the files , and what do I find out? That the files are named as they should, but they appear like question marks, like this
??????ova???.avi
just to makle an example.
You may think i have to install the right fonts.... I already have them installed, in fact I can see properly web pages and all that, only that when it is the moment to save a file the fonts seem not to work... the point is that it happens only with torrents, because I had the same problem, for example, with winrar, so I couldn't extract files that look like those with questions marks, but now that I have new fonts the question marks remain but at least it gives me no error.... only with torrents I have this problem, i have tried to download their support for various languages but nothing works.... any idea?
Thank you anyway.

Thank you HokaHoka, i have just tried it but it doesn't work... it works for other files, but those with kanji don't even start, so the problem remains.... sob sob.

Ok, azureus works ( and now I can download Winter cicada too!!!) thank you suhi ! rep for you too!

but still there are files with ????? that i can't download, there is a message like this: "Invalid argument, initialization failed"
I doubt it is a problem of connection, it must be a problem of language, i'll try more...

did you download java based Azureus? it's not like i know much of it, but i was told that java based version can be troublesome sometimes.. may be that's the problem..
or.. do you have asian languages installed?

Too_troublesome

Well given my pathetic speed in downloading the torrent of W.C. I went to Azureus a few hours ago (after utorrent gave me fits) and it worked WAY better... I finally have it in my hot little hands? uhh I guess I mean hard drive :D

Maybe those were the two rtf files I asked about last night/this morning. I was told they were not important (was it serpentcity who told me? I better go check)

Edit: It was suhi and serpentcity who said they didn't think the rtf's were important when I asked earlier.

Edit2: Rather than clutter this thread up with another post, I'll just say I'm sorry I have no other ideas. Shigure² is kind of techy isn't he? Perhaps he would know?

I downloaded azureus 2.5.0.4 There isn't much choice, there is only that one... yes, the java based one, in fact i had to update that too it seems...
What I don't understand is that with some files works and with others don't, but at least I know I can download half of the torrents i have now... i am already happy, but actually i'd like to solve the problem entirely.

@Too: Shig isn't going on-line recently, unfortunately :(
@Monia: i'd suggest not to do any updates.. moreover, the old version (2.2.02) works way better .. i use it now - without any updates.. it's much more stable.. mine is java based too.
i'm going to look for one that is not java based..
