This might be a unicode issue, I haven't confirmed this yet, but the uploader might be seeing the url as:
http://d.facdn.net/art/zafara/1516890156/1516890156.zafara_Рина.jpg
instead of: http://d.facdn.net/art/zafara/1516890156/1516890156.zafara_Рина.jpg

Although the site is written in Ruby, JavaScript has a good example improper decoding of URLs:

> unescape("https://d.facdn.net/art/zafara/1516890156/1516890156.zafara_%D0%A0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0.jpg")
< "https://d.facdn.net/art/zafara/1516890156/1516890156.zafara_Рина.jpg"
> decodeURIComponent("https://d.facdn.net/art/zafara/1516890156/1516890156.zafara_%D0%A0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0.jpg")
< "https://d.facdn.net/art/zafara/1516890156/1516890156.zafara_Рина.jpg"

I can confirm that almost every time there's URL with russian or japanese in it, the upload simply fails.
However I usually simply just download the file into local machine and upload it regularly.

I used to overcome this issue by replacing the random percent-encoding part with the actual "Рина" into the link.

Updated by anonymous

Рина is cyrillic Rina. Doesn't necessarily have to be Russian.

Bug confirmed, doesn't work on copy-paste.
