No More Duplicates - Avoid Duplicate File Downloads

"No More Duplicates" is a handy Chrome extension that ensures you don't download duplicate files. When you initiate a download, it checks for the file's existence on your hard drive. If the file exists you can either download it regardless or open the extant file. It's a simple but elegant solution to prevent unnecessary file duplication, saving you storage space and bandwidth.

If for some reason you delete a file from your downloads folder, this extension won't take that into account and will still say "this file has already been downloaded", even though it hasn't.
