It seems acceptable For small files. But for large files re-downloading a file, Instead of opening, is not acceptable and of course it's annoying!

Additionally, I think that it's a bug rather than enhancement. Maybe I didn't describe the problem correctly.

Better than overriding some important documents

@telegramdesktop Maybe save the document in a temp folder, compare the checksum of the two documents and only create a new one, if the checksum don't match

Same problem here on my desktop, very annoying partciularly for large files.

Same problem here...

this bug is still valid on 1.9.8?

no answer after near 1 month, if this bug is still valid, open a new ticket with one updated telegram version downloaded from desktop.telegram.org or github.com
