change names on files
« on: June 28, 2012, 12:51:20 AM »

Hi
Maybe this is wrong forum?
I wonder why sometimes the names on files are changed.
This makes it difficult to know what you download.When
you have downloaded  a file you discover you already have the file.

Do you mean file name changes while you're downloading it?

The filename is not changed during download.
When I try to download other interesting files I discover
that the files sometimes have other names.
The files do not have the sames filesnames  and the
description of filecontent is not the same.This makes
me confused.I think I download a different file but when
downloaded I already have that file.

It's like when you rename a file on your computer. Some people like to have it under another name, and they share it so.

By the way, while downloading (i.e. when you have some sources for the file, no actual data transfer needed) you can open the file details dialog and see how the file is called by your sources. You may earlier discover that it might be something you don't actually want to download.
