Lightbulb Alternate files (only differing in name)

Hi,

Another idea on the same priotisation-thread:

Some files have the exact same size, only their names differ (slightly). Most of the time these other (alternative) files contain
exactly the same data; just because someone decided to alter
the filename (eg. to add a www.something.com string).

It would be a waste to download both files, but on the other
hand Xolox shouldn't skip the download ofcourse.

To solve this problem partially, Xolox could download the file
with the best score first, pausing the alternate files until
the first one is done.

This gives the end user the opportunity to cancel the download
of the alternate files as soon as he had a chance to look at
the contents of the already downloaded file.

...just my 5 cents..

Ptrick.
