* `--pathdepth=N`
This causes a shorter filename to be used. For example,
`--pathdepth=1` will use "dir/subdir/bigfile",
while `--pathdepth=3` will use "bigfile".
Rather than basing the filename on the whole url, this causes a path to
be constructed, starting at the specified depth within the path of the
url.
For example, adding the url http://www.example.com/dir/subdir/bigfile
with `--pathdepth=1` will use "dir/subdir/bigfile",
while `--pathdepth=3` will use "bigfile".
It can also be negative; `--pathdepth=-2` will use the last
two parts of the url.
* `--prefix=foo` `--suffix=bar`
Use to adjust the filenames that are created by addurl. For example,
`--suffix=.mp3` can be used to add an extension to the file.
