OK, here's the repro:

1) Use Transmission to download an ISO (example Jaunty Alpha 3 jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso) to ~/isos.
2) Checksum verifies fine for the downloaded file.
3) Later when Jaunty Alpha 4 is released use transmission to download the new ISO (same name for Transmission and downloaded to same directory).

Result: Checksum for jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso FAILED. Transmission has been happily sharing the bad image with the entire world :-(

As an experiment I deleted the Alpha 3 jaunty-desktop-i386.iso from ~/isos and the new Alpha 4 image checksum is correct.

I would expect at least a warning and deletion of the old version from Transmission if it can't handle downloading a new version by the same name.

I hope someone can respond to this bug and if more information is needed or it needs to be posted elsewhere let me know. Thanks.
