Bug Description

If i share the same files several times this will make the share increase but duplicate files should not increase the share size. DC++ do have an option to choose if duplicate files should be shared or not:
"Decides whether to remove duplicate files from your share or to list them but subtract their size from your total reported share size. Duplicate files never count towards your share size, no matter what this is set to."

AirDC should not count dupes and show it as the total reported share size. I understand if it shows the size in the column Type (4,2k folders, 84,4k files) when i open a file list, but not as total reported share size.

Why is this an issue? DC++ only indexes each TTH once which makes is easy to just go through the files and get the size of unique files. AirDC++ needs to index all instances of the same file due to support for partial filelist refresh (which is missing from DC++) so it's not as simple (or fast) to figure out the unique files from it.

It would make it possible to increase the share by adding the same files over and over again. That shouldn't be possible to do.
