Some time in the past month, NPR has apparently changed their filenames, and podget now downloads them with filenames like

npr_382897153?orgId=1&e=382897153&d=3215&ft=pod&f=510208.mp3

These can't be copied to my (vfat filesystem) MP3 players:
"cp: cannot create regular file ‘/mp3/15-02-01-npr_382936742?orgId=1&e=382936742&d=2935&ft=pod&f=344098539.mp3’: Invalid argument"

Some URLs which exhibit this:
http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=35
http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510208
http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510294
http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510298
(and probably everything else on npr.org).

In my podgetrc I have
filename_formatfix=1
filename_formatfix10=1
the latter after reading bug 27, which sounds like it was a similar issue about 10 months ago on other podcasts.

I haven't tried filename_formatfix2 through 9 ... should I?
Is there an option I can set to tell podget to always use characters that are legal for vfat filesystems, no matter what wonky characters are in the filename on the server?
