If you download a programme, then watch/listen to it and delete it or move
the file somewhere else on your computer, then try to download it again, GiP
will fail because the download history says you've previously downloaded it.
 The --force option overrides that.

But the problem this time was that the file that GiP intended to put the
newly downloaded programme into already existed.  Using --force didn't solve
the file existence problem, just the already-downloaded it one.
