Unable to seed a show from backup files

The new "Your Seeding Opportunities" is a great feature!

I tried to seed
Prince xxxx-xx-xx Ultimate live collection vol 1 (FLAC)
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=33672
from files that I had backed up to a dvd

I have done this before by copying the files to my hard drive, and then opening the torrent to upload the files - works fine

One of the song filenames has ¥ (yen?) in place of the apostrophe in fingerprint.txt
Pista 06 - It¥s gonna be a beatiful night - Prince.flac:38c50e5f503b95c72eb4a6a2708f61a7

When I open the torrent, Azureus tries to read the fingerprint file and says
"Choose Encoding > Please select the best matching encoding"
which looks to me like MacRoman

I tried ISO-8859-1.... (there options for Fallback, KOI8, and windows-1251 that I didn't try) and let it default by picking none - it doesn't seem to matter

When Azureus is checking the files, it doesn't get to 100% (stops around 55%) and it starts downloading files which it thinks I don't have

I show up as a leecher and not a seeder on the torrent

I was able to upload some files - the other leecher got up to 99.55% finished

Is there a discrepancy between the filename on my backup file which doesn't have the ¥

Can I rename my file - or make a new fingerprint file?

Or is the problem something else like an Azureus setting?

I am using Azureus 3.1.1.0;Mac

Thanks....
