        As one who has wound up with 100+ duplicate files due (in a much 
earlier 
release of Pan) to crashes coupled with me forgetting what I'd grabbed 
already, I'd also say that's a pretty nifty idea!  :)

        Thinking about this a sec... don't SFV files contain some kind of hash 
that pertains to the files they describe?  Could Pan use that to 
determine whether we should bother to download a particular file?  
Parsing SFV and NFO files could be handy for other reasons, as well, 
though this is probably "cosmetic" functionality...
