I have a newly created torrent file. the tracker response when I try to upload is:

"One or more of the files or folders in the torrent has a name that contains the forbidden character '?'. Please rename the files as necessary and recreate the torrent.

Note: The complete list of characters that are disallowed are shown below:

: ? < > \ | "

I have gone thru the files and file names and removed any instance of ?.

If I open the .torrent file in a text app there are dozens of ?'s in the hash, not sure what else to do?

I have never had this before and following the same routine I always do.
