Hi again,

I've started to use Sparkleshare instead of Dropbox and am currenty testing it hard so that I know it works like it should.

I've come up with a feature that I think is essential. I have all of my documents synced with my own server. The files are oginally from my laptop, but I also want the files on another computer. So I installed Sparkleshare on that one too, fixed the SSH keys and everything works fine.

I wanted to save some bandwith so I thought I'd copy the files from my one computer to the other using SFTP on my local network. I put it in the ~/Sparkleshare dir and thought if I'd add the same repo on the second computer, with the files that are already up to date from the first one, it wouldn't have to download them.

I let it sit over night but when I woke up, there was two of the same share, with the same files, in the ~Sparkleshare dir? One Documents and one Documents (2).

What I now want is Sparkleshare to check for existing files in its share dir, before downloading them.
