WinErrors when trying to download models with special characters

[Mystos007]

When using the development branch, I am getting WinError issues and they seems to related to illegal filename/folder characters that Windows considers invalid and doesn't allow in file names.

Now downloading "Uzaki Tsuki / Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!"...
            - Model ID: 250013
            - Version ID: 282137
---------
[WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: './models/Anime\\Uzaki Tsuki / Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!'

Now downloading "Quikantel | Manhwa | Swordmaster's Youngest"...
            - Model ID: 250455
            - Version ID: 282617
---------
[WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: "./models/Anime\\Quikantel | Manhwa | Swordmaster's Youngest"

Now downloading "Irene Honma (本間イレーヌ) - Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らな い。)"...
            - Model ID: 252289
            - Version ID: 284658
---------
[WinError 267] The directory name is invalid: './models/Anime\\Irene Honma (本間イレーヌ) - Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らない。)'

So there is an example of a few of the WinErrors, the main ones are 3, 123, and 267. Everything else works fine, so far the characters seem to be "/" "|" and "\".

And looking up what characters are illegal in Windows gives: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1976007/what-characters-are-forbidden-in-windows-and-linux-directory-names

< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon - sometimes works, but is actually NTFS Alternate Data Streams)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)

I also noticed someone posted a related bug at #56 which is the "/" creating folders on Mac OS.

Thanks for letting me know about this! I will add that to the bugs to fix as soon as possible! A potential solution might be to convert some of them to spaces, or dashes, or remove them depending on which special character it is.

Hi, the latest development branch with version v2.0.0-dev13 now removes/replaces the special characters mentioned in the stack overflow page.
