check file existence before the captcha prompt

It seems that the file check happens after requesting the captcha? i.e. the file is skipped after I entered the captcha because filename already exists; therefore, I will have to wait for another count down even though the download never happened.

Can this behaviour be changed?

File check should happen before the captcha prompt, so it doesn't count toward the quota.

I don't know if I am clear enough to be understood...

Thank you.

Maybe this belongs to the "features" section. new to this forum. very sorry.

The problem is that the final file name is not always known until the download starts. Some services truncate the file name, for example.

I guess you can hit "rename" on the "file already exists" prompt?

Sometimes links of duplicated files are added anyway because they die rather quickly. Adding them all would get me at least one working copy. Using skip in option would save me the trouble. Using rename I would get duplicated files.

But I do understand the problem u stated, I guess I'll have to think of a work around.

Thank you.

One thing I don't understand is that I've already gotten the filenames after I've used validate. Can frd be coded to check using the stored filename before hand, if there is one?

Maybe this has to do with the "final" filename u're talking about?

The file name from validation might not be the final file name, because some services truncate the name they display on the download page for example.

Thanks for clarifying.
