Why dont you store the downloaded model as GUFFs like other apps are doing it?!

I have like 20 models downloaded and stored twice just because ... ?

You guys did great work to deliver "an easy to use app" and how come you missed that part ...
Please change the downloaded format. Plus as I understand those blobs are in effect real GUFF files so why dont you keep them with the original name.

Great work otherwise!
