I have been trying to stop irc downloads from being sorted into nicknames. I am currently using 6.14 although 6.12 also did the same thing. The tick box is clear on the option to "Sort files by Nickname into own folders". Is there something else I need to do to disable this feature?

"Is there something else I need to do to disable this feature?"
Shouldn't be, have you a script doing it by any chance?

Yes, I am using rfn. Which is probably doing it, but I like what this script enables me to do. Is there another script which offers similar functionality without the downside of sorting into nicknames?
