IndexError: index out of range

Not sure what is causing this, but I'm getting this on some .torrent files:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This was an issue with corrupt .torrent files.

We can turn this ticket into "better error on corrupt torrent"?

Errors like these can be confusing for a user yet easy for me to detect and inform about.
