Howdy,

I'm not sure what causes this because it doesn't always do this.  When I
use youtube-dl to download videos, it sometimes uses the current date
and time for the time stamp.  I like that because I can sort by date and
see new videos.  On some sites tho it seems to use the time stamp of the
file on the server I am downloading from not when it was put on my
system.  Sometimes I download a video and it may have a time stamp of
years ago, decades sometimes.  I looked through the help page but can't
find a option to tell it to use local time instead of the time from the
remote server file.  Needless to say, when it does this, I can't tell
which videos I recently downloaded since sorting by time stamps is no
longer accurate. It's annoying.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is there a way to tell it to stop
setting it to really old time stamps?  Some option that isn't documented
maybe.

Thanks.

Dale

P. S. Doing pretty well with my encrypted drives and stuff.  Remembering
the passwords can be difficult at times tho.
