Public bug reported:

In search, you can't add a file to the download queue if an identically-
named file is already in your queue. No warning is given to indicate
your download request has been ignored. This can be significant when the
files differs by TTH.

If the new identically named file differs by TTH, in addition to a
warning, I'd like to be offered the chance to download with a modified
name, like change file.txt to file-2.txt or just have that be the
default behaviour. It's otherwise a hassle to rename the existing file
in the queue so I can add the new one.

Surprisingly this comes up for me with some frequency.

I get this on ubuntu 10.04 using version 1.1.0~pre1~bzr399.
