UWP Background Downloader multiple downloads

Question

Hi,
We are using UWP Background downloader to download video files. We are doing parallel downloads. We need to replace the video file if the same file is being downloaded again.

StorageFile destinationFile = await videoFolder.CreateFileAsync(
file, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting);

But if two video files with same name get downloaded at the same time can there be any issues occurred?

If we are to download same file with two download operations at the same time what is the recommended way to do that. (we need to have the same name for both files)
Thank you.

Hello, Welcome to Micorosoft Q&A,

But if two video files with same name get downloaded at the same time can there be any issues occurred?

It will create download file before downloading start, so the last one will replace previous one(videoFolder.CreateFileAsync( file, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting)).

If we are to download same file with two download operations at the same time

If you want to download same file with two download operations at the same time, please create download files in the different folder,
