Not so -- it actually shows correctly, provided you use the right 
encoding. Tell your browser to view the page as UTF-8, and the file name 
is displayed correctly.

By default, my browser Iceweasel views the page as Latin-1, which 
displays like this:

Ευχή του Ιησού.mp3

so the first thing you need to fix is to find some way to tell Apache to 
include a UTF-8 encoding line in its automatically generated pages. Then 
at least it will display correctly for visitors.

I now tentatively believe that the file names are correct, using the UTF-8 
encoding. But you can help confirm this:

* What operating system are you using? If Linux, what distro and version?

* What is the output of the locale command?
