If you download a programme, then watch/listen to it and delete it or move
the file somewhere else on your computer, then try to download it again, GiP
will fail because the download history says you've previously downloaded it.
The --force option overrides that.
But the problem this time was that the file that GiP intended to put the
newly downloaded programme into already existed. Using --force didn't solve
the file existence problem, just the already-downloaded it one.
Hi,
Now I understand. Hadn't appreciated the distinction. Neat.
Have now achieved successful download. No idea why the first one went
wrong but original file was rubbish so once deleted and using --force
all want by the book.
Thanks again.
Budgie
