<p>As you may have guessed, the default template is <em>%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>. When some command line options are used, it's replaced by other templates like <em>%(stitle)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>. You can specify your own.</p>
<p>The current default template is <em>%(id)s.%(ext)s</em>, but that will be switchted to <em>%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s</em> (which can be requested with <code>-t</code> at the moment).</p>
<p>In some cases, you don't want special characters such as 中, spaces, or &amp;, such as when transferring the downloaded filename to a Windows system or the filename through an 8bit-unsafe channel. In these cases, add the <code>--restrict-filenames</code> flag to get a shorter title:</p>
