Problem with File Names in Downloads

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

  • DDG browser doesn’t name the files as expected.
  • The inner content remains unchanged. The main problem is with the file name and its extension
  • The file name doesn’t matter to it and always names it as uploads.

I tried to download following type of files from here and resulted as follows:

original file path named file
File.py uploads/***/ uploads.txt
File.c uploads/***/ uploads.txt
File.js uploads/***/ uploads.js
File.txt static/***/ static.txt
FilewithnoExt uploads/***/ no name or uploads.bin

I’ll try to update this table in future by adding file names when I encounter any issue.

How to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download the following type files(original file) and the browser will ask you to save them in the following type files(named file)

Expected behavior Download the file with correct name

Smartphone:

  • DDG App Version: 5.89.1
  • Device: Xiaomi
  • OS: Android 10
