   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Thank you for your reply!   
      
   On 05 Aug 2021, g00r00 said the following...

   Ah, yes, that explains it, I was indeed using Zmodem...   
      
   Could some tempname stuff perhaps be used/help? For blind batch uploads, each   
   received file is stored with a temporary name (but Mystic notes the desired   
   name of each file) and is then renamed or deleted, depending on the findings   
   of the duplicate check?

   Agreed!   
      
    g0> I'll make a note in the TODO list.   
      
   Thanks! It's certainly not a "pressing" issue in any way, though, so no hurry.

   Agreed!   
      
    g0> As far as the delete thing, yes that should remove the index entry so

   Please let me know if there are any further tests that I can do to aid you   
   with this issue -- I'd be happy to help!   
      
   Best regards
