Duplicates, no more skipping of already downloaded file #802

Open AlttiRi opened 1 year ago

AlttiRi commented 1 year ago

After the recent update MEGAsync 4.9.1 there are no more skips of already downloaded files.

If I click "download file.txt". It downloads file.txt. If I click the second time it downloads the same file again, but with file (1).txt name.

I want to return the old behaviour.

Return file downloading skipping when the file's name, size, and mtime are the same.

In which version the behaviour was changed? I want to roll back to the old version.

I absolutely dislike the change.

With the old behaviour it was easy to download a new added content from folder shares. Now I need to download the entire folder each time, then de-duplicate manually, to merge the new content with old downloaded files. It's madness.

It was really nice feature.

Especially since Mega have notable download limits. Google Drive have no download limits, I can re-download hundreds of gigabytes each day, but not with Mega. I need this optimisation. Especially, for folder downloading to download a new added content.

The change was added in 4.8.8. The old 4.8.5 works fine.
