vgm.hcs64.com and "%" in filenames by radornkeldam at 8:45 PM EDT on March 30, 2019

I was trying to download some files from the indexer, and with some of them the server kept giving me "Bad Request" errors.
They had one thing in comon: Percent % symbols in the filename, for example "Asuka 120%".
I guess it trips the percent encoding converter or something.
They can be downloaded browsing to the corresponding JoshW.info server, but it won't work from the indexer site.

That also made me curious about how many other filenames contained a % symbol, but neither the internal search or any of the usual webcrawlers services will take +"%" as a meaningful search string xDD, which, I suppose, is to be expected.

Thanks for the report, it should work now. Let me know if you find another character that causes the link not to work.

Sure, but complaining doesn't have much merit, so, rather, thank you and everyone else who keep this all running.

A recent Reply All podcast dealt with a related issue where car stereos were choking on the podcast titled "99% Invisible".
