Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231048

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Behdad Esfahbod]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922
Build Identifier: 

Say I download a file named something-1.3.tar.gz, then if I download it again,
Firefox (on Fedora Core 3 at least) will save it as something-2.3.tar.gz.  If
downloaded again, it would become something-3.3.tar.gz..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a versioned tarball
2. Download it again
3.

Actual Results:  
The version number of the tarball is changed to make a unique file name.

Expected Results:  
A unique number should be appended to the end of the file name.
