Tons of duplicate downloads..

Post by yuppicide »

I have 0.7.20. I have all my files set to go into one directory, not a separate directory for each nzb I download. I use Newshosting, but also have some gigs left with Astraweb. This only started happening recently. I do not have Sickbeard or RSS setup. I download everything manually right now.

So I am downloading a TV show.. while I am downloading sometimes a second exact copy in my downloads.. sometimes I delete the download and it comes back. The problem is let's say I download 8 episodes of a tv show and then walk away or go to bed. I woke up in the morning and I had 2 copies of the same episodes.. some had 3 copies, some had 4 even! They're all the same file name just with (1) or (2) at the end, etc.

I haven't changed any settings other than adding Newshosting server.

Sounds more like a problem with your indexer pushing you duplicate versions.

Try 0.8.0 Alpha1, it contains better duplicate rejection.

Will try Alpha. You may be right. I normally only use one indexer (usenet-crawler.com). Lately, the admin hasn't been around as much IMO. New episodes of some of the shows I watch aren't being added either.
