Bugs
Since version 4.0.0.10, the option to "Use server date/time for the downloaded file" does not work.[4] This means the downloaded files will not retain the last modified date/time from server. Instead, the downloaded files' date/time will be changed to the current date/time. As of version 4.1.0.1, the issue still remains. The last working version was 4.0.0.9.[5]
