Well, *you* told me ;-)

So, the filename as presented by the content server is: "series_Title - Author Name_nnnn.xxx", with nnnn being the number assigned by Calibre. Apparently, if there is no series, it is generating "_Title - Author Name_nnn.xxx", without detecting that the series name is blank.

Then I started to go backwards and got thinking:
What could I do in Calibre to cause it to behave this way?
It looks like the plugboard was set up not through UI, so it did not have a name to display to you. Normally when you set up a template and the tag, such as {series} is empty, Calibre discards the extra path delimiters/slashes. At least when I use the template language in the "save to disk" configuration.
I suggested that you try to set up a plugboard, so that we could see whether it has any impact on the existing problem.
