DownloadThemAll Firefox extension + websites containing pictures of
people in various states of undress = a *LOT* of JPEGs. In that case,
though, you'd probably have to compare md5sums and not filenames to
weed out duplicates. I was fortunate in that when I had to do this,
the files were XML with a strict naming convention, so I could go by
filename.
