Now that I think of it, it would be nifty to do an md5sum
on the files, to see if they're the same, and avoid writing
a second copy when the files are really duplicates...
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...
