Bug Description

This malfunction is due to a wrong encoding/escaping of an ampersand symbol in HTML links:

Try to add the following RSS feed:

http://www.ezrss.it/search/index.php?show_name=Rizzoli+%26+Isles&date=&quality=HDTV&quality_exact=true&release_group=&mode=rss

Result: While it works on the website it does not show any torrents in qb. The ampersand is encoded as %26

In contrast, when I leave out the '& Isles' part it works fine and the torrent files are shown.

http://www.ezrss.it/search/index.php?show_name=Rizzoli&date=&quality=HDTV&quality_exact=true&release_group=&mode=rss

When I alter the link and change %26 to & then it works as expected, too:

http://www.ezrss.it/search/index.php?show_name=Rizzoli+&+Isles&date=&quality=HDTV&quality_exact=true&release_group=&mode=rss
