Add functionality for file comparisons?

It would be nice to be able to do a file compare sort of for dupes.
The idea is one can designate folders and/or files as a "source" which then everything will compare against the database to find matches.
It should be a relatively simple feature to add. Maybe enable various ways to compare such as regex, filesize, contents, etc.
Yes, I know there are apps out there already but I've never found one that is that great.
I typically download quite a bit of stuff and need to cross check things to make sure I'm not redownloading something I did months ago.
Typically, since I use everything quite a bit, I might pick out some token in the filename and look to see if it exists or exists in another place(if I already downloaded it) but this is too time consuming when a lot of files have to be checked.
