Bug Description
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.

True. I believe there are some cases where this error is reported (trying to do the same from sharebrowser might lead to a notification in sharebrowser statusbar.)
Anyway whole error reporting needs some work in LinuxDC++. With errors reported to multiple statusbars it gets way too confusing and the errors are too difficult to notice.
