Remove the (1) when saving duplicate files in Google Chrome

Question

So when i save a duplicate file from the net, the system automatically adds a (1) right at the end, before the extension and I have no idea if I can change it.

How do i keep the original file name so I can overwrite the existing one without manually removing the (1)?

Can it be done?

ok? your question says windows 7, this is a Browser issue. What browser are you using? re-write your question, cause in its current state you're going to get no where. — Outdated Computer Tech, Mar 06 '14 at 08:59
I see you edited your question. And you still aren't mentioning the browser. — Saturn, Mar 06 '14 at 09:01

Well, the easiest option I see is to just click the file you want to overwrite (which auto-names the file you download to the same name as the file you click), and thereafter click "overwrite". This saves you a couple of seconds compared to manually erasing the " (1)". The Google Chrome browser has no option for it.
