firefox PDF download "%20-" name

[musiqzuki]

Whenever I try to download a PDF file, the name of the PDF file is always messed up by default. I always have to rename it.

I.E.

"The Cooker.pdf" would show up as "The%20-Cooker.pdf" Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? Thanks

The internet is not too fond of spaces in file names so the default placeholder for spaces is %20. I don't believe that there's a simple way to get the %20 to be replaced with a space in every file you download, but you can always right click and do "Save as..." or some other option that will allow you to specify a location and file name and change it there before it starts downloading.

It's sloppy file naming on the part of whoever named and uploaded that file. Unless you're the person who put it on the 'net, there's nothing really you can do about it (save follow atszyman's advice on naming the file before you save).
