I use Flashgot + Downthemall
===========================================
Flashgot could use selected text as the file name.
An example is - you're on somebody's blog and when you go to download the video the file name will become "99834glob.mp4"
Since I use Downthemall the rename mask is
Off the page somewhere I end up copy and pasting the "real" title and fixing the file name. If the video is called "A swimming bald eagle" The rename mask is
and the file will be - for example - "A swimming bald eagle.mp4"
Flashgot could "reset" the Downthemall rename mask.
Downthemall is dumb and after a download the rename mask is still:
And that screws things up. Whatever you're downloading next is also going to be called "A swimming bald eagle.*ext*"
And one-click is even worse - it automatically makes the file that.
===========================================
And - let's be honest - plenty of us download porn. So if the file name is "Nasty porn your significant other wouldn't be pleased with.mp4" - she could learn about it by using your computer and clicking Downthemall or Flashgot.
Hey, honey. Can I talk to you for a minute? I was using your computer and downloaded something. You know what the file name was?
