That could be, but I have already cracked +40% of the hashes using wordlists from the Internet so why would the problem appear only now?
Note: the list (txt file) looks fine when I open it with windows applications e.g. notepad or MS word.
Update: it turned out that most of the lists I used from the internet are in iso-8859-1 and not utf-8. I just converted my list and will update the thread as soon as I try it.
