When I download files from multiple sources that have the same name it overwrites the existing one. I know I can manually change the download directory to a new location. But is there something like a versioning option that auto renames the file? Or that will auto create new directories based on the download path? Something like that?
For example....
If I have these in one place....http://www.demo.com/demo1.zip, demo2.zip, demo3.zip, etc....
And another that`s http://www.someotherweb.com/demo1.zip, demo2.zip, demo3.zip, etc.....
Could it somehow rename the second batch to "demo1(2).zip, demo2(2).zip, etc....?
Or alternateively, create a subdirectory called "demo" for the first and "someotherweb" for the second?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for writing us.
We plan to add the autorename feature to the next version of Download Express.

For IE
[A.zip] of 1GB is downloaded to [c:\]. It takes a considerable time because it is 1GB.
When download is completed, the file is moved(copy?) to [c:\] usually.
Another file of the same file name [A.zip] is put on [c:\] between from starting download to the download completion. Then, it is overwrited without permission.
There is a possibility that this phenomenon happens because the file size is large when a lot of time is spent to complete download.
For DE
The same kind of phenomenon happens for redirected URL.
For instance, following URL.
http://www.slysoft.com/ja/download.html
The following action methods are devised.
When [*.ext.DE] is Renamed to [*.ext], the file name is checked.
And, the dialog is displayed for the Rename or it Renames it by the automatic operation.
Thank you for your suggestion.
We prefer the automated way - so an user does not need to sit in front of a computer.
Sincerely,
Alexander
