Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hi, i tried to download a file with "%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" template.
i added param : --restrict-filenames
but i have a problem with file named with "%" (percentage simbol)
for example in this case, the filename in oputput is
WTF_RIOT_100%MADE_IT_TOO_EASY_TO_GET_FED_ON_GANGPLANK_GANGPLANK_TOP_GAMEPLAY-_League_of_Legends-HWISr2uDVMo.mp4
if i download this file from http server give a 400 error because http server can't parse a percent simbol.
there's a way to suppress this simbol in output template ?

No. You'll have to replace manually or fix your webserver.

You're wrong. Percent signs are the way URLs are encoded to allow for other chars, but everything you've after the percent sign in the name is a syntax violation => HTTP error 400.

Indeed, manual replacement or fix your Web Server, since youtube-dl wasn't designed for your purpose.
