Question Check all Shared folders for duplicates on download

My computer initially was built with a number of small-sized (relatively speaking, especially in these days of 200GB hard drives) hard drives, so I've set up a number of different shared directories across these drives and have LW share files from those directories. I'm constantly moving files from the default download directory into these shared directories on the different drives, as I'm constantly running out of room under the default download dir (and quite honestly, I don't have much room to maintain a default download dir on any of my drives).

Currently, when downloading a file, if the file already exists in the default download dir, LimeWire will prompt as to whether you wish to overwrite the file or cancel. I'm constantly finding that I'm downloading duplicates/triplicates of files, as I'll move them out of the default download dir and into another shared dir, but LW doesn't check against these other shared dirs for duplicates.

Is it possible to get LW to check against all shared dirs for duplicate files when downloading (or attempting to DL) from a source? It would be a great help, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's set up multiple shared dirs who would find this feature of great benefit.

Thanks for making such a great product and keep up the teriffic work!
