Duplicate .NZB's

Post by jollande »

Hi again,

For some reason, when i add an nzb lately, SAB duplicates the file and two are queued.

This problem only started happening when i added a location for the .nzb Backup Folder.

I have since deleted the backup folder and saved the settings but it's still happening.

Also - Some files also not completing the last 1% or so. SAB then runs idle until i restart it. When i restart it then completes the d/l.

Version: SABnzbd-0.5.3
OS: Windows 7 32bit ultimate


Thanks again,
Vodka2

1. have you gone to switches and ticked prevent duplicate downloads.
2. are all the old nzb files in the backup folder location.

Are you using an add-on like sabnzbd ?

Did you restart sabnzbd+ after making the change about the watch folder ?
If not , please do so.

When it stays at 99% , what errors do you see ?
Is there still a connection with the usenet server ?

No errors, status just indicates as "idle"

Re-installs usually don't help.
Using the --clean option will.
"c:\program files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --clean
from a command prompt.
This will erase your download queue as well!

Still duplicating nzb's. Any other suggestions?

It's not a major problem because i can manually delete one file... but its a pain the the arse if i forget to delete and a wastye of bandwith.

What happens when you save the .nzb to your PC ?
WAIT some time , and do NOT load it into sabnzbd+

Will it still be added ?
If so , then there must be an add-on or something running
I believe there is also an addon for Chrome to auto add nzb'd , or did you tell your system to always open nzb's with Sabnzbd+

The problem has somehow ceased. Not sure how, but thanks.
