Former user created an issue

Is there any way not to make the .torrent filename downloaded as MD-5 but instead its real name?

    Files named this way because whitespaces in original filename were breaking leech in some way (i don't quite remember in what way exactly), thus leech replaces it with $MD5 of the URL to eliminate those errors.

    To make leech use original filenames, you might create your own recipe derived from leech-default and use something like (cd $LEECH_DOWNLOADS_DIR && curl ...), omitting -o option. I guess.

    As far as i'm concerned, $MD5 shouldn't break anything or be inconvenient in the process of automatic files downloading (what leech is for) and i assume the reason behind this proposal is "niceness" of files on disk.

    Taking this into account, i'm marking this issue with "wont fix". But if i'm mistaken, i would appreciate if you could describe details either in email or re-opening this ticket, or spawning another ticket in form of: 1) what are you trying to do 2) what is impossible to do 3) why it's important to use original filenames for this.

    Thanks.
