Downloading specified higher resolution pictures often/always leads to same image about tumblthree HOT 2 CLOSED

I don't know if you have considered this, but regardless of the outcome of the above, I think doing duplication checks based on the md5 hash rather than the filename can address all of the above.

I know, but for doing this you'd have to first download the file otherwise you cannot get the md5 hash. That's why I've never considered this. I actually wanted to save the network bandwidth not the disk space. During the TumblTwo development I've thought to implement a global list containing all md5 sums of all downloaded files from all blogs and compare the downloaded files against it and if they would match to delete the file again. But I thought it's unnecessary. DupeGuru can probably do that better anyways. I'm not sure, it's still possible to do for those people who might want to have each file just once.

And for the larger files option, yeah, it will downloaded the file twice if the filename including the size after the dash differs. It's probably worth to implement it to just save the name without any suffix (e.g. tumblr_o7p5ei4iGh7qjlsrio1), excluding the files extension and the pixel size, but for that, I'd have to write a database updater first. That's why I've not done it. So the best it do either enable it for new blogs only, or just leave it off. I doubt there will be too many files where is resolution is actually better.

Alright, great. Thanks for the clarification!
