Package: bittorrent-gui
Version: 3.4.2-11
Severity: normal

I started the PC to continue last night's .torrent download.
Entered the .torrent file in 'bittorrent-gui', then the
destination file, (90% complete), and a prompt appears:

    A file named "fubar.baz" already exists.  
    Do you want to replace it?

    The file already exists in "foodir".  Replacing 
    it will overwrite its contents.
    	    [Cancel]	[Replace]				

Scary!  Makes it look as if the 90% complete "fubar.baz"
will be deleted and the DL will restart from 0%.  Many
users probably press "Cancel".

Happily, if the user presses "Replace", 'bittorrent-gui' resumes
"fubar.baz" from 90%, fetching just the remaining 10%.

Suggested rewording:

    A file named "fubar.baz" already exists.  
    Do you want to resume downloading/seeding it?

    The file already exists in "foodir".  Resuming 
    continues seeding, and fetches any missing parts 
    if incomplete.
    	    [Cancel]	[Resume]				

Hope this helps...
