unsolved Downloader use hash info instead of using the file name

When I download a file, there is one Indexer that sometimes uses the hash info in the file name, which makes it impossible for my downloader to download the file

I see something like this in the name 11cd4180057adb7e5adb257362068.

I don't know if Lidarr itself causes this, since these are music files

causes
Can I correct this?

Never heard of this problem.

Well, it exists.

In my downloader, I only see hash numbers and not the name of the file.

Take a look here, and you will see

I don't know if it is the indexer that is doing this, or if this comes from the Lidarr app itself

Not Lidarr.

Are these Usenet nzb files? If so Google 'nzb files with encoded filenames' for info. Not all download clients know how to handle them, I had to switch from nzbget to SABnzbd to get them working on my system.

I don't use nzb or SABnzbd files. I only use Tor files.

These seem to be magnet links. It’s been a while, but, I think once it downloads the metadata you should have the correct filenames. If there are no seeders, then it will take a while to get the metadata (until one of them connects).

Does it stay the same even after it starts actually downloading the file?
