      Jenkins-STABLE 1.409.1 on Solaris/x86

      I selected a few static analysis plugins for installation, when I clicked "Install" Jenkins computed the dependencies for each one, each dependency was downloaded the number of times that it was referenced.
      Each time the already-downloaded .hpi was moved to .bak and downloaded again.
      Potentially this could cause a problem with backing out if a particular dependency already had a .bak file.
      See attached screenshot.
