Filename Cleanup
What cleanup does: at first the filenames which may contain url-encoded characters like "%20" are decoded. Then space holders like underscore, "+" and invalid filename characters (\/:*?<>|) are replaced by spaces. After that special strings which can be defined using the Edit button and all unknown tags between [ and ] (if enabled) are removed. Dots are replaced by spaces only if they are not between two numbers like in version strings and dates. The first letter of each word is capitalized and the word "CD" is always written in uppercase. Advertising expressions like "Shared By" and "Sponsored For" are removed automatically and must not be defined in settings. Finally, space sequences are substituted by one space, and empty cleaned up brackets are removed.

General warning on changing filenames:
Images for CD recording software often consists of more than one file, e.g. *.cue/*.bin (CDRWin), *.mds/*.mdf (Alcohol120%), *.ccd/*.img/*.sub (CloneCD), *.bwt/*.bwi/*.bws (BlindWrite). The option should be used with care when downloading such files. Changing the filename may result in error messages when trying to burn them as the correct filename is also saved within these files. If you change the filename, it has to be replaced in the according layout files, too. For *.cue files this can easily be done with Windows notepad, but the other formats mostly require some hex editor like UltraEdit or WinHex. For CloneCD it is only important that all files have the same (cleaned up) names.

Auto-Cleanup filenames of new downloads (Filename Cleanup)
Enables the feature for all new files added to the download list.

Cleanup all between [ and ] (Filename Cleanup)
Enables the feature for unknown tags even if they are not defined in settings.

Edit (Filename Cleanup)
Allows you to edit the strings being removed by the cleanup feature, separated by pipes. There is a predefined set of the common strings.

Enable countermeasures against unfair clients
Many clients have some unfair options that harm legit eMule users (i.e. less slots available, no upload, hash stealing and more). By enabling this option eMule Plus will try to overcome this wrong behaviour. Leecher MODs are banned after detection and a message will be kept in the debug log if 'Send message to banned users' option is disabled.

Auto-check for new eMule Plus version
With this option you will be informed (in the log) on client startup that a new version is available.
