Description

### Step 1: Please describe your environment

* ZeroNet version: 3853
* Operating system: W10
* Web browser: FF
* Tor status: available

### Step 2: Describe the problem:

The merger site is not loading content from hubs, so i taken a look into debug.log and found some errors that MAY be related:

```

```

There is also other error that is for that particular content i want to open:
`... manifest.json fileGet error: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('rb') or filename: u' ...`

Rebuilding database of the merger site & zeronet restart does not help. And on the hub (that seem to me having issue), it do not show anything in the site's zero menu - corner button)

How this can be fixed and where?

Research direction

Start with core/src/Worker/Worker.py at line 108 and compare the traceback with the surrounding downloader error-handling path; site-packages/gevent/greenlet.py is where the exception surfaces. Reproduce the failure using a non-ASCII inner path such as the one shown in the log, then verify that the merger content loads without the unhandled UnicodeDecodeError or related filename error.
