Overwriting lower quality files

[Michael Gregory]

You can use NP++ to sort your download_history starting at column 10 to get all the TOTP together to help.
Should have quality there too, in the field after pid, eg: hvfhdq1, dashfhd1, (HQ which you want to leave)
But some in my file do not have that field populated... I think they are ones I downloaded before broadcast.
