Kicking is sometimes unreliable, but you could only overwrite the pretender when the game's name used characters that made Dom2 and Esben's server not work with each other. (And I think the kicking not working was also because Dom2 used a different file name from what Esben was using for one nation.)

As is - the md5 is mostly useful as a way of double checking that your new pretender upload didn't take, because the md5 doesn't change.

As I just verified after trying to re-upload.

It does need anonymous kicked still, and I've a new Caelum pretender ready to go when I see it's been kicked.
