Hello

Don't know if already requested, but couldn't be possible to have an option to download not all always in the same folder, but keeping the full URL name of the file?

So we avoid the problem of duplicate file names and we know the origin of each downloaded file, and as I want to download many files (tens of thousands) is better organized.

I use WGet for that (option -x ) but I need an easy to use download manager for passing big lists of files to download to friends not very computer savvy.

Thank you in advance

Jose

Do you know how to use macros in download path?

Thank you Andrzej for the fast answer.

Seems that macros is just what I need... but I have no idea how to use them, can't find it in the help.

This can be set as default in the Settings- Downloads - New Download - Set Default Download folder setting, or somewhere else?

Hope this is not too complicated for my friend.

It is better to use group list in the left panel and define download folder for every group separately:
- You can right click on a selected group, choose "Group properties" from the context menu and change download folder if needed.
- If you want to use different settings, you can create separate group and select this group in "Add download" dialog window.
- You can even use group settings for just one site, if you select the group for the site using "Site Manager" tab.
If you want to have the best results, you should do some tests on your own.
