I see, fair enough.

I'm actually trying to use BBC subtitles as a text corpus for linguisic 
analysis, and was hoping to avoid downloading duplicates. But if the 
metadata doesn't indicate subtitle presence, there's no (easy) way for 
GiP to keep track of which srt files have already been downloaded. I'll 
just use duplicate file removal software.

On a different note, can I ask why I don't get this list in my email - 
only on the infradead site? Or am I again missing that things are 
working as intended :-)?
