I don't understand why, when one downloads a vid from somewhere, there is this compulsion to rename it. I'm not pointing the finger at anyone in particular since it's entirely possible that the names here are the original ones and it was BadVlad who renamed them. Just a bit of advice for all downloaders to not rename files.

In an ideal world renaming wouldnt exist but unfortunately an impractical one. For example if my girlfriend and I make a vid and call it eg 'our vid 1' and someone else does in the world does the same you already have 2 vids floating round with the same name. Inevitably someone downloads both videos and saves it on their pc they then have to rename it to store it. They then upload it and it goes back round,same vid different name.
