File names with Umlauts crash the torrent creation and therefore torrent feed generation.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 2, in <module>
  File "/opt/OwnTube/videoportal/models.py", line 190, in create_bittorrent
    make_meta_file(str(self.originalFile.path),
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 43: ordinal not in range(128)

Simple escape ü->ue ... should do the trick.

Quickest solution:
cp FileWithUnicode FileEscapedUnicode

$ cp VorstandSüdBB_2013-05-28.flac VorstandSuedBB_2013-05-28.flac

then via python shell

>>> v = Video.objects.filter(title__startswith="Sued VoSi")[0]
>>> v.originalFile
<FieldFile: raw/2013/05/31/VorstandSüdBB_2013-05-28.flac>
>>> v.originalFile.name = 'raw/2013/05/31/VorstandSuedBB_2013-05-28.flac' 
>>> v.create_bittorrent()
>>> v.save()
