An MD5 or SHA-256 sum would catch different files of the same size. However, they are computationally intense and in this use case overkill Calculating the MD5 of a file should not be significantly slower than copying the file on a modern computer. You could even optimize by delaying the MD5 calculation until you find a second file with same size and base name. Alexander
