I think I discovered a bug with the renaming of certain files, I have the Rename Files option turned off and searched this thread, found this (#

2.) I had an issue today that I cannot seem to find an explanation for. I do allow files for our members with the extension of .exe If the file name is CoDWaW-1.2-1.3-PatchSetup it does not show the file to be downloaded with the correct name. If I rename it to say c153.exe it works fine. Is this caused by the length of the file name?

2.) For your 2nd question I'm not sure. Is the name CoDWaW-1.2.-1.3-PatchSetup or CoDWaW-1.2.-1.3-PatchSetup.exe? In the first case the extension is too long I guess.
It is possible to use longer filenames, but I think there will be a limit to the length.

I imported a bunch of files that begin with "16-9" and when they are downloaded the files are renamed without the "16-", ie: a file in the downloads folder was imported properly as 82502-16-9 Black Knight.zip (real file name is 16-9 Black Knight.zip) and gets downloaded as 9 Black Knight.zip.
Sample
I think the referenced post above is due to having a "-" in the file name and not related to the length of the file name, all of the other downloads imported without a "-" work fine. I was wondering if this could be a server setting and if it can be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
