Chrome Beta On Android Helps Prevent Downloading Duplicate Files

DOWNLOADS
Android: Most browsers will allow you to download a million copies of the same file, simply appending a "(1)" or "(2)" to the file name to distinguish between all the version of the same file. If you're running Chrome Beta on Android, however, the newest version will offer to replace the existing file or create a new one before downloading.
The feature is a small change, but a welcome one on a platform where storage space comes at a premium. For reasons unknown, most browsers don't perform a check on the Downloads folder to see if a particular file already exists before acquiring a second (or tenth) copy. No word yet on whether this functionality will come to other versions of Chrome, but it's most needed where it is.
