'exercism download' did not download to correct folder

OS: Windows

So I installed Exercism with defaults and got a workspace in C:\users{MY_USER}\Exercism. Next I did:

exercism download --exercise=hello-world --track=typescript

which downloaded it to ..\Exercism\typescript\hello-world. All fine.

Then, with my console in that hello-world directory, I downloaded another exercise and it placed it inside the hello-world directory, not the typescript one. So my next exercise path was:

..\Exercism\typescript\hello-world\space-age

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me from a new user perspective. I know a bit of Go so I could probably fix this issue (if it is one), so let me know if you want me to. Great project btw!

You are right, this does not make sense.

Can you show the output to exercism debug here?

And can you provide the output to exercism download --exercise=space-age --track=typescript
