Attn : HTTP Downloader 1.0.6.5 has replaced --output-directory with --download-directory #310

I use flawlessly HTTP Downloader mainly to download once a day blocklists. I've always achieved this with a dedicated script which among other instructions calls HTTP Downloader with:

C:\Program Files\HTTP Downloader\HTTP_Downloader.exe --immediate --url-list "[FILE].txt" --output-directory "[FOLDER]" --shutdown-action 1, C:\Program Files\HTTP Downloader, hide

To my surprise this morning files were downloaded to my default OS download folder. I had to dig into HTTP Downloader 1.0.6.5 documentation to discover that --output-directory had been replaced with --download-directory, leading to:

C:\Program Files\HTTP Downloader\HTTP_Downloader.exe --immediate --url-list "[FILE].txt" --download-directory "[FOLDER]" --shutdown-action 1, C:\Program Files\HTTP Downloader, hide

This is FYI in case you'd encounter this situation.
