RELEASE NAME: A.NOTE.ON.DUPE.FILES.CREATED.BY.FTPRUSH-iND
RELEASE DATE: 05 Jun 2008
TYPE: INFORMATION
PRIORITY: LOW
FOR DUMB MOFOS: YES
I'm noticing that a lot of people still have problems with FTPRush creating files that look like this:
1. original file: filename.extension
2. dupes that rush creates: filename(number).extension
So number in the brackets changes and there can be many dupes of the same file. That goes for nfo, rars and any other file type.
The problem is that by default, FTPRush is set to RENAME files if it sees a file with the same name, but which is larger than the original. And since a lot of people don't get into the settings, well, that's the reason for those fuckups.
Why are those files "bad"? They:
1. Make you waste your credits
2. Make you waste site's traffic
3. Waste site space
4. Make you look like an imbecile. And a lame mofo too ;x
Here's how to fix it. In FTPRush, to go
1. TOOLS
2. OPTIONS
3. FILE EXISTS
and change:
TARGET FILE IS LARGER to AUTO OVERWRITE (default was: auto rename). For those who still unclear, see screenshot inside the .rar
That's all you have to do. After that there will be no more filename(number).extension dupes.
For those who know this already, sorry. For those who just discovered this: you lazy mofos!!!
pz
and long live the scene.
