Erroneous filetype error on my torrent

(1/1)

Windsong:
I tried to search the Wiki and Forums for the answer to this question, but to be honest, I wasn't quite sure what keywords to use.

I just adopted the Gatekeepers OST 2/Gatekeepers Spirits OST torrent, and now the top of its page reads, "This torrent contains a file with a fileype that should not be in the torrent (allowed: avi, mkv, mp4, mp3, flac, ogg, jpg, gif, png, rar, zip)."

I checked the filelist, and it says one of my files has no filetype on it (it's just "file_name," not "file_name.mp3".)  However, when I checked the file on my computer, the file in question is a properly named .mp3 file.

The name of the file is "02 Koi wa Dan·Dan.mp3."  I think the dot in-between the two "Dan"s is probably throwing the system off--the filelist just says "Koi wa Dan" and cuts off the rest.

So, to end my long-winded post--what should I do?  Should I change the name of the file and swap the torrent?  Or should I just stop worrying about it?  I know it's trivial, but I've never adopted a torrent before and I want to be perfect.  >_>

In advance, thank you so much for your advice!

KyraMaverick:
I'd change the name of the file and swap. If it's a working file then I think the system is just freaking out over that dot space thing. You can add a note at the bottom of the description saying you changed the file name but nothing else so those who have the files can do the same to theirs and continue seeding.

Duki3003:
Didn't I tell you to just swap the damn torrent?
Leave a comment bellow to users who are currently seeding it of what changes you made...

Windsong:
Thank you very much for offering advice, KyraMaverick.  I'll do as you and Duki3003 have recommended.

Duki3003: I received your PM a few hours after I had created this topic.  While I'm not sure why you're annoyed, I apologize.  Is it because I didn't swap the torrents/respond here fast enough?  I'm sorry?  School > BakaBT?

Duki3003:
Not annoyed really, just my time settings on the tracker is screwed up - if I were annoyed you would certainly know :P
