I'm puzzled by the following behavior of calibre and want to get it fixed.

This is what I've observed
1) Calibre Content Server generates a new EPUB book file on-the-fly by modifying the original EPUB book file with its current metadata as saved in Calibre's Content Library.
2) However, if I drag-and-drop the book from Calibre to your PC desktop, then what comes out is always the unmodified original book file.

Sometimes I want to download the original EPUB file.
1) Is there an option to turn off such on-the-fly file modification as in case #1?
2) If not, can such an option be added, say, to "Preferences | Sharing over the net"?

Thanks
