Downloaded Video Date Is File Creation Date Not Downloaded Date #246

I'm not sure if it's a fault or not, but when you download a video file the date associated with it is the original file creation date (probably from when it was created on the download server) and not the downloaded date (as is with most video download programs). Normally the creation date would be the day you downloaded or generated the download of the file.

If it's not a fault with Video Downloader, would it be possible to have an option to switch it in the settings? The issue I have is that when I download a video file and put it on my Emby server, its picking the creation date of the file generated - which could have been years ago instead of todays date. Yes I know I can change these settings in Emby (which I have), but it's weird that the generated downloaded video file wouldn't have todays date as its creation date.

I've gone through and checked all of my setting on Linux, the dates were correct. I also checked my server date which is correct also.
