File Name Masks
Dear JD Developers Team,
Thanks for your continued support for the program which has made it into a phenomenal success.
Lately, I found an issue, solving which can add to the efficiency of this wonderful program.
Issue:
Many mirror links have identical file hosted, but with a different syntax in their names. This is resulting in duplicate downloads. (files are identical, but the names have subtle variation depending on the file host's server rules). Since the names are not 100% identical, JD is treating them as different files, and downloading both of them.
For example:
Essentially, with this example, I want to make the point that:
a file name on different mirror may have the following name patterns:
MIRRORED_FILE_NAME.extension
MIRRORED FILE NAME.extension
MIRRORED-FILE-NAME.extension
MIRRORED+FILE+NAME.extension
Suggestion:
To implement a "File Name Masking" Mode (which can be disabled/toggled/ticked) Under the Settings Tab, which would allow users to set masks (e.g. _, <space>, +, - or any other characters )
When enabled, this feature should be able to treat all such name variants as identical, so that unnecessary duplicate downloading can be prevented.
