Agreed, but that is not as much of an annoyance to me as their practice of cutting off titles after a set amount of characters, and wasting space by putting my name in the filename. I know my name and I know I downloaded it, I don't need the file to tell me that. More than that, though, is their lack of saving preferences. They save some, but I always have to tell pages to sort by date added so that I can see the newest additions; why not save this as well? It is just another value in the url.
