Ha, finally just a question and not a problem!

Over the last few months, I've noticed that downloaded episodes have a really extended file name. For example from this mornings downloads:

PB-DoubleShare-11_nvb_20080713154002_nva_20080714154002_t_013fd1dc143a03dd4f710.mp3

Now, I've figured out that the "nvb" and "nva" portions seem to be date and time and the stuff after the "t" looks like a CRC hash of some kind.

My questions is why did this start appearing a few months ago and is there any way other than editing the file name to get rid of it. Long file names can be a PIA for some MP3 players and even computer systems?

Just curious,

P.S. "Double Share" is only used as an example as the system requires that I put in a product name.
