Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System:

version 3.3.12 at win7 64bit

What is the problem:

2 files has the same name but totally different, if they finished download and then copy into "finished folder", the last finished one will cover the elder one with no alarm or warn.

What is the expected behavior:

idk, but I think it's better to keep the 2 files at the same time.
thx

Steps to reproduce:

download 2 same name torrents with different size, when they all finished, one of them will said"error the file lost" or such thing like this, I forget the words it show on.

Extra info(if any):

thanks again, for your awesome work!

You can rename a file before adding the torrent to the queue, so both files can be saved without causing trouble.

To do so, add the .torrent-file to qBittorrent, right-click the file and click on "rename".

This is a workaround.
You saying that if a filename (lets say "file.name") is already existing in the set location, and qBittorrent automatically should rename the file being downloaded in order to distinguish between those two to something else (e.g. "file (1).name") - this would be a suggestion. To be honest, this might be a good to not-so-good idea, according to the feeling in my stomach.

yeap, after finished the nearly dead torrent and it was covered by this issue, I felt very sick for it...
I have to restart the missing torrent.
when the buddy meets this issue, it's really annoying.
thanks for your reply!
