I was just perusing the longest running books thread and found the The First Man in Rome book interesting so I ordered it with my Audible account. When I went to download the book, I ended up with 5 files, named TheFirstManinRomeUna_acelp16.aa, TheFirstManinRomeUna_acelp16-1.aa, TheFirstManinRomeUna_acelp16-2.aa, etc. Trouble is, I wasn't watching what I was doing so the first isn't part 1 and so on. Why doesn't Safari use the whole name of the book and instead truncate it like this?

The file name identifies the title and the file format and size. But like with MP3 files, iTunes or AudibleManager do not display the file by the actual file name, but rather by the information contained in the file tag.
