Tuhi, your storage assistant · What Tuhi can do for you

\n

Will Tuhi download the same file twice if I ask again?

\n

Short answer: No. Tuhi follows or resumes a download already going, moves one going elsewhere with its progress, continues one that failed, and shows a file that's already there (or replaces it, the old one to the Trash).

\n

No. When you ask for a download you already have, Tuhi sorts it out first, and the choice she recommends never downloads twice:

\n
  • Already going? She follows it, or resumes it if it stopped.
  • Going somewhere else? She can move it to the place you asked for, keeping its progress.
  • Failed earlier? She carries on from where it stopped, or starts fresh if you'd rather.
  • Already finished and saved there? She shows it to you — or replaces it if you ask, with the old one going to the Trash.
\n

Asking again for a download that's already running doesn't start a second one. See downloading a link with Tuhi.
