Cannot Handle Invalid Windows Characters

[Jaliborc]

What version of WebTorrent?

What operating system and Node.js version?
Windows 10, Node 10

What did you expect to happen?
When you download a torrent that contains files with names with invalid characters (colons for example, "The Banana King: Requiem - Episode 4.mp4"), either windows system invalid characters should be translated automatically like most torrent clients do, or there should be
an way in the API to assign each file a different write name individually.

What actually happened?
WebTorrent tries to download the file with the original name. Which fails.

Bump

This seems reasonable to support. Is there a list of invalid windows characters and the preferred characters to translate them into?

[Jaliborc]

I made an npm module for our internal use that converts all the invalid characters to the most similar we could find.

This file lists all the invalid characters and our suggested translations.
