I would guess that this is a **serious** bug that should be corrected.
Imagine that you could/would wipe out a whole week's worth of work just by
accidently overwriting the file with a download. (Graduate students take
note: Your whole thesis/dissertation could disappear in the blink of an eye!)

It just disappears, but it can be left in your cache directory. Another
problem I've encountered with this is that Arachne sometimes begins
downloading a file that can't fit on the disk. This combined with an error
on my end (I accidently saved over a previously downloaded file) lost me ca
75MB downloaded in those two files.
