Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 334835

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

Download manager deletes a file based on file name not on file attributes.  i.e.
if I start to download foo.mpg then overwrite foo.mpg in the download location,
then cancel the download, the overwritten foo.mpg gets deleted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Lets say I'm downloading a movie foo.mpg.  When the download finishes, I realize
that I set the file to open in winamp automatically, so it isn't saved in the
normal download location (for me my desktop).  I realize I want to save the
file, so I start to download it again, this time saving it instead of opening
it.  When the download manager opens, I realize I can right click and go to the
containing folder, and get the first file I downloaded.  I cut this file, and
paste it to the desktop, which then overwrites the file that Firefox is
currently downloading. i.e. I replace foo.mpg (0 bytes) with foo.mpg (10Mb). 
Since I found the whole movie on my harddrive, I realize I don't need the
download anymore, and I cancel it.
Problem: When I click cancel it deletes the 10 Meg file on my desktop, because
it has the same name as the one Firefox was downloading.  Seems as if the
browser only checks for file name, and not some other attrib such as size.
Actual Results:  
See steps to reproduce

Expected Results:  
Not deleted the replaced file.  If a file is overwritten during download, it
shouldn't be deleted if I click cancel.
