From which e-mail provider (URL) do you download?

This is known, in general this is Bug 221028. If you provide an URL, this could
be Tech Evang like for Yahoo Mail, see bug 252309.

For example, i check a message in yahoo and i want to save the file
"Dave_Trenton17.jpg". When I try to "save link as" download manager renames the
file to Dave.jpg. That is a very annoying think if you suppose that there are
numbered files and you have to rename them every time....

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
