After download I use Immich to manage my photos, but I've noticed that there are a lot of duplicated photos that only differ in filename.
One has the original name (IMG_1234.JPG or filename.JPG) and the other has 5 numbers added at the end (IMG_1234-98765 or filename-98765.JPG). What's the difference between them and if they're the same, how do I stop downloading them?

I added a section to the doc explaining the de-duplication strategies. Pls see if that answers your question.

That seems to answer it, I also added --until-found to prevent it from trying to download again. Thank you
