How can I stop the file being downloaded from being re-named? e.g. when I try to download a "timewarnercable.pdf" file, it would be downloaded at "time%20warner%20cable%20.pdf.

It is very annoying.

Thanks

That is the URL coding of the space character. Since space characters cannot be defined in a URL, it is replaced with the %20 attribute. There is no way to change this. You can rename the file once you've downloaded it, however.
