If I download a video, the file auto names with title+first part of url tempsnip

Is this normal?

It is normal and those weird text are there to avoid a possibility of two media from two different places to end up with the same file name if they share the same title.

You can remove them by following instructions from here: https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#3-how-to-make-downloaded-media-not-have-weird-text-in-the-file-name
