You didn't give the version of mldonkey you are using. I have submitted
a patch to have the mldonkey-gui working with UTF-8 ( as the debian
package maintainer ). It has been applied in 2.5.28.1, so if your are
using a version < 2.5.28.1, you should upgrade.

ps: FYI the error comes from the fact that the core is sending NOT
localized strings to the GUI which display it without encoding it.
Typically : hostname and filename.
