All these files have names as:
Albinoni, Tomaso - 01 - Concerto No. 1 for Violin in B flat major, Op. 9%2F1:

And konqueror does not manage to copy them.
How are you trying to copy them? What steps do you take and what happens
when you try it?
Under Linux, I see no reason why you can't copy that file. I created a
test file like this in the shell (bash):
touch "Albinoni concerto%2F1:1. Allegro.ogg"
opened my home directory in Konquorer, single-clicked on the file, typed
Ctrl-C to copy, moved to another directory and typed Ctrl-V to paste,
and the file copied fine. Unless there's a bug in your version of Konq
which mine doesn't have, it should be able to deal with file names
containing spaces, colons and percent signs easily.
The way I use konqueror as a file manager is by using split screen:
with one directory in the left pane, and the other directory in the
right pane. It's simple drag-n-drop after that. What makes it so very,
VERY convenient is konqueror's sftp:// ability. I develop web pages
locally and upload them to the live web site via konqueror.
Of course there is so much more you can do. Right click on a file and
open in another tab. Right click and open in kwrite. Etc., usw.
I have NEVER had problems processing "weird named files" in konqueror.
(Tho', myself, I eschew such abominations....)
