User reported peers not displaying for certain torrents:

{{{

File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/deluge/core/torrent.py", line 813,
in get_peers
client = decode_bytes(peer.client)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 0:
invalid start byte
}}}

This seems to be an upsteam libtorrent issue when peer client strings are
not utf8 encoded:

Comment (by jools772):

That's the micro sign, probably somebody is using utorrent. Isn't the
standard to use unicode internally?
