warpseed 1.1.6 — it asks before it replaces a file

Downloading a file you already had used to replace it silently — and only
after transferring the whole thing again. A 50 GB file cost 50 GB to
discover it was unwanted, and the copy you had was gone. That is fixed, in
both directions.

Fixed

• The destination is checked before the transfer starts, not at the
  moment it finishes. Nothing is re-transferred to find out it was not
  needed, and nothing is replaced without a decision having been made.

New

• Overwrite rules, in Settings → When the file already exists. Each kind
  of clash gets its own answer:

  	Default
  Incoming is newer and larger	Overwrite
  Incoming is smaller	Ask
  Incoming is older	Ask
  Identical (same size and time)	Skip
  Anything else	Ask

  Every one can be set to Overwrite, Skip, Keep both, or Ask. "Newer and
  larger" is the only case that replaces a file on its own — a bigger file
  with a later date is a better copy of the same thing far more often than it
  is a mistake. Anything that could be a downgrade asks.

• "Ask" holds the file in the queue instead of interrupting you. The dock
  shows "3 files already exist at the destination. Nothing is transferred
  until you decide." Each row explains itself — "Incoming is smaller than
  the copy you have — 1.8 GB incoming vs 2.4 GB already there" — with Skip,
  Keep both and Overwrite per row, or the same three for the whole set. A
  folder full of clashes is one decision, not one dialog per file.

• Keep both transfers to a free name beside the existing file:
  ep01.mkv becomes ep01 (1).mkv.

• Uploads get all of this too. Uploading over a file already on the seedbox
  was just as silent, and harder to notice.

Notes

• Held transfers are queued but not running: they consume no connection and
  hold nothing up. The rest of the queue carries on around them.
• A server that reports no timestamp still gets a size comparison; warpseed
  will not call two files identical on size alone.
• Existing settings and queues are untouched. The rules above are the
  defaults for everyone, including existing installs.
