I have my browser's (Chrome) download folder being watched for NZBs. About 3 days ago (upgraded to Beta 6 when it came out) I began experiencing duplicate items in my queue. I double checked my download history in my browser, and confirmed that I had only downloaded the NZB once. For example, if I download an NZB of Iron Man, I go to my queue and see there are two entries. If I let it go, it downloads both of them.

I have tried enabling the "Prevent Duplicate Downloads" option in Config->Switches, but it hasn't worked.

Thanks!

You're not using some Chrome plugin that handles NZBs?
Did you associate NZB with some program (e.g. SABnzbd)?

I'm not using a CHrome plugin, but I associate SABnzbd with my NZB files.

Hah, figured it out. With Chrome's auto-open of NZB files with SABnzbd, and with SABnzbd watching that download folder, it was catching it twice. Clearing Chrome's auto-open setting fixed the issue. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
