Con.Man.S01E01

AltBinz ver 0.39.15 OS: Win XP

This is not an outright fault of AltBinz, but the way AltBinz handles something like Con.Man.S01E01 thru Con.Man.S01E131 that were recently posted could be improved on.

A few days ago Con.Man.S01E01 thru Con.Man.S01E131 were posted & I tried DLing the nzb using the AltBinz inline NZBClub & Binsearch search tabs. On each occasion AltBinz froze & had to be hard killed.

I then used to a web browser to DL the nzb files, but was not allowed to save them, getting the message that the file exsisted already. But the files did not exsist, hmmmm. I the just saved the nzb files as S01e01-13 removing the show name 'con.man' . This I loaded into AltBinz, which then DLed them for me. A while later I noticed, that though AltBinz did DL all of the files, none of them were yenc decoded.

So, then a duckduckgo search & I find out the Windows does not allow for the creation of a file with the name  'con' (http://tinyurl.com/o9rskfm). & Even though the file name was much longer than just 'con', it could not be created. When trying to create such a file, Windows will tell you that it already exsists, as does a web browser when trying to save such a file.

I figure that since a web browser does not allow you to save a file such as "Con.Man.S01E01.Stalled.720p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-EsQ" giving the error that a file by that name already exsists, that maybe AltBinz should also come with some error msg instead of just freezing

Fix is already done, just trying to fix repair for such files.
