Anyone got a solution to this?
I dont mean duplicates downloading all at once, cos sab makes sure that doesnt happen, but I tend to end up with 2 or 3 duplicate episodes as they already exist in the folders.
Should this be checked before download?
I keep my folders in 'E:/TV Shows/SHOWA/SHOWA.S05E01.mkv' (for example), is this an incorrect folder & naming structure, or have I missed something when setting up the RSS feeds?
Cheers.

Re: Duplicates downloading problem
Duplicate detection, if turned on, is done by comparing the nzb name you are trying to download to nzbs in your nzb backup folder.
There is no other duplicate detection, as it is impracticable. An nzb file does not specify any information about the resulting file, so you would have to make a certain amount of assumptions that would mean also blocking downloads that extract similar named files of different types.
If you want something to look at your directory structure and only download missing downloads, then I suggest you checkout the autodownload script on these forums.
