Fixed folder size calculation in status box did not work correctly for FFMPEG and probably others
Fixed moving unicode tempfiles to output directory created subdirectory with temporary name

Changed language files, added new %name term to reduce %s usage
Changed FFMPEG is now downloaded to the correct subdirectory (x86/x64), so the appropriate version is used in portable mode on
different operating systems

fit a language's word order; added %name shortcut
