I use LBRY all the time. My biggest frustration is that LBRY Desktop downloads everything into one folder, and because of this I have to sort the downloads based on who they come from, not always an easy task, as sometimes files are named based on date, like with live streams, leading to conflicts.
I would ask if there could be an option at minimum to sort the downloads into their own channel folder.
This would make it way easier to sort and keep the download folder organized.

This would also allow people to host stuff they download in a manner where they could see what files are taking up space.

Another nice to have would be if the downloader could rename the file based on meta-data
Sometimes files are just downloaded as what they were uploaded as, so if someone didn't name the file properly, or if it was a stream that was renamed after the live stream finished, it won't have the actual name.
(this would probably require some means of LBRY-Desktop of checking if a file is already downloaded.)
