Multiple names for same file download, how to consolidate?

Postby doron_amedey » Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:05 pm

hello,
I'm using version 6.5, I have a problem, when downloading I want to have only a single directory with the download file(s).
I use the $filename switch, and still when d/l I get multiple directories.
i.e.

<name>
<name>.part1

sometimes more, and most of them but 1 is with the file d/l.
how do I solve it to have only single directory with the d/l file?
thanks,
doron_amedey

I believe the $filename variable is the least reliable one of the lot - since usenet is the wild west people post files in all manner of ways and it's tough to parse it algorithmically even though our brains do a decent job of it. Quade or Dexter might jump in with a suggestion, but you might want to use the other ones instead to pull things into folders such as nzbfile or subject. Subjects tend to 'clean up' nicer.

thank you,

what is the diff. between the NZB and Subject?
i.e. d/l movie <XYZ>?

nzb is only meaningful if you're downloading with nzb files, subject will work in any context...
