Removing/destroying/eliminating. With a sense of anger/frustration.

When you select 'download from internet', if you select a package that
is already cached, it deletes the cached copy and downloads the file
again. As it doesn't keep corrupt files, I see no value in this - and it
is the reason you see setup downloading stuff again and again.
