huasa You should be able to use non-ASCII characters in the filename for the Saver, as long as you properly set the charset for the HTML or JavaScript file accordingly.

If the file URL's hostname contains non-ASCII characters though, convert it to punycode first and that should avoid the "Invalid host" error. If there are non-ASCII characters on the URL outside of the hostname, e.g., on the path, URL encode those first.
