@AgathaSorceress im pretty sure u could like optimize 99% of phone use by just having a fast sha1 check before and a thing that comes up and says "hey, you likely have already downloaded this, do you want to continue downloading it?"
@alexandria @AgathaSorceress even better, there could be a system-wide storage supervisor that knows a few different types of hashes for each user file and applications can just say I want a file (with these hashes, super unlikely to be a collision, or with this URL) and the system either says sure here you go done or hang on a second, need to get that one from the URL you provided, waiting, now I'm done.
