235066 - autodownload file renaming scheme broke

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231048

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Kitchen]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040210 Firefox/0.8

surf sourceforge until you finally get to your url.. the download manager will
pop up, download the file, and close (which is annoying, but I assume can be
turned off, however this isn't the issue)

click back and download the very same file.. you'll notice the version number is
now wrong..

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to sourceforge
2. download something
3. download it again
4. type 'ls'

Actual Results:  
after downloading maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2 (I only use sourceforge to get the URL
to download using wget on customer machines), and downloading it again, and
several more times, you end up with:
maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2
maildrop-2.6.3.tar.bz2
maildrop-3.6.3.tar.bz2
maildrop-4.6.3.tar.bz2

etc, in your download directory (which with mine was ~/ by default

Expected Results:  
ask if you want to overwrite it, or use wget style naming, such as:
maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2
maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2.1
maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2.2
maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2.3

etc.
