Windows 10: Downloading the same file again puts the new download under the original 'Date Modified' in...

I've found that recently when I download the same file on different dates, the second/third time I download the file, File Explorer gives the new download the original file's 'date modified' including date and time. This happens even when changing the title - it used to save the new duplicate download under the current date so not sure what's changed

Download managers - keep file created date but modified=download date

Seeking 3rd party download managers that : 1. do not change the file created date (or, at least, keep the server created date) 2. sets the modified date to download date. So, for instance, I download a file today, then the file has (for example) created date: 01-07-2019 modified date: 19-09-2022 My current download manager (IDM) can keep the 'server date' (so, 01-07-2019 in the above example), but the modified date will the be the same as the server date. Downloads are stored in a downloads folder, amongst many other files of previous downloads and other temporary files. The downloaded file is difficult to find then: it is somewhere amongst the others. In case of the modified date being the date of download, one can sort then on modified date and easily find the downloaded file. Thanks for any suggestions. Any suggestions?

 

Any download manager saving server modified date?

Currently I use Internet Download Manager from Tonec (Internet Download Manager: The fastest download accelerator) I am aware of many alternatives, that is not the point. However, I do seek a good, alternative download manager that does the following with the downloaded file: a. set created date after the server date b. modified date, date of download. For example: the server date of FileXYZ is Sept.30, 2018 When downloading the created date is set to 30-09-2018 The modified date is set to Oct. 6 2022 I have set up IDM to keep the server date. IDM is also saving the server date as modified. Date stamps of a downloaded file are like this: modified date: 30-09-2018 created date: 30-09-2018 accessed date: 06-10-2022 I would like to have the modified date to be the same as accessed date. modified date: 06-10-2022 created date: 30-09-2018 accessed date: 06-10-2022 Currently IDM does not have this option. Anyone any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Any download manager saving server modified date?

This was one of my reasons for avoiding IDM. The other was I could not explicitly specify the folder receiving the downloaded file. I choose to use EagleGet. As best as I can determine, EagleGet is no longer supported. Versions up to 2.1.6.70 (released May 18, 2020) may be obtained from archive sites. EagleGet still works for me. Now I am seeking an alternative with both features: preserving modify date and setting the download directory to any directory. Another useful tool to have for managing all 3 dates of the file is Attribute Changer from petges.lu.
