Extraneous downloads queued from Search
A friend of mine has been intermittently downloading releases from me in both 320 and V0 MP3s, at the same time, in the last few months. I noticed it weeks ago but thought nothing of it, then asked her tonight and she says it's accidental, and happens when she queues up V0s from me via Search results that I also happen to be sharing 320s for the same release. She was clear this only happens when searching/downloading folders, and not when queuing files/folders from me after browsing my shares.
These V0 and 320 MP3s are NOT shared inside the same folder(s). While I can't rename my downloaded torrent files, I rename the folders for everything and rename all the non-torrent files on my drives (e.g. artist - album (year[, label]) [format]\##. tracktitle.mp3). Consequently, I have a lot of V0+320 pairs, some of which are my own encodes from FLAC to upload as torrents (and so their root folders are inside the same parent folder) and others are 320s I downloaded and then later found V0 "upgrades" for, but forgot to delete the 320s (and not located in the same parent folder, sometimes not even on the same drive.)
So I'm wondering if either the folder names being similar (identical up until the [V0]/[320] tag at the end) and/or the file names being exactly the same is causing the client to trip when it queues, and grabbing everything that matches.
She admitted she's using an older version of SoulseekQT, so I think I convinced her to upgrade to the latest version, and maybe that will make this bug go away... or maybe not. Just figured I'd mention it in case it's still a legit bug and easily solved.

Interestingly, there is a bug
Interestingly, there is a bug in the newest version that shows the down arrow next to filenames identical to the ones you're downloading in other folders. Those other files aren't actually getting queued though, so this could definitely be a bug in older versions. I'll fix the other problem soon.
