Bug#530958: clive downloads files from past requests

[David Liontooth]

Package: clive
Version: 2.1.13-2
Severity: normal


If you first download a file using the -rf mp4 option, and then download a second file using the same option, clive tries to download the previous file all over again:

# clive -rf mp4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqP8gNbtMyI&feature=channel_page

cache http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw9y7O6XuvI ...done.
error: file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do
cache http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNf2S8nuXcE ...done.
error: file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do
fetch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqP8gNbtMyI ...done.
verify video link ...done.
file: ShellingofSouthOssetiacapitalstopped.mp4  20.0M  [video/mp4]
ShellingofSouthOssetiacapitalsto  100%  20.0M / 20.0M           76.6K/s   4m27s

If you rename the files you downloaded first, clive will download the files all over again. The cache resets after some time, perhaps a day.
Within this time period, if you download a hundred files on a machine, every clive command will try to download every one of them all over.

Great program!

Cheers,
David
