Hm.  I think, this is a very bad behavior.  And it's contradicting 
the spirit of both a CMS and the web itself.  What is the sense in 
having several identical files on my disk?

Typo3 is really a great tool, but this problem has nothing to do 
with "enterprise content management" or "digital asset 
management" :-(

Well, it seams that I have to write a small shell script, that 
replaces the duplicates by symlink.
