-ody- Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hi and welcome here, not sure to understand your question when you download a file twice or more, maxthon saves them as "***.*** (1)", then "***.***(2)" and so on if you don't want to get multiple files, maybe delete the previous ?

7twenty Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 As odyssee stated, at this stage the only option is to delete the first file before trying again. There really should be the standard option to overwrite or create a new file though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Welcome to the forum. With Maxthon download manger ,there is no option to overwrite a file download. Would you tell us why you want to overwrite your download ? Anyway, your feedback will be recorded as a request and I'll make sure it reaches our product manager for further consideration. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think as this option would be interesting for softwares who are frequently modified and whose the names are identical (like few security software)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3gi Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 In my opinion this could be a useful feature! Great idea. Maybe there could be some inconspicuous button, which would show expanded menu with options like this one. Also it would be great to have option to choose if the Download manager window should appear every time I start download ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 There's a few reasons as to why it should be offered, but if nothing else it's a standard option going back to the days of DOS right through to win8.1 that is still valid. If a file/folder is found with the same name it will ask you overwrite? Yes/No? Zugi's suggestion is good - have an option "Overwrite duplicate files?" If selected it overwrites, else it creates a new file with (1) etc added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
