Issue with ".1" extension

Many of my downloads end up with a ".1" at the end (i.e. filename.rar.1). Sometimes it'll download an entire rar set, all of which have the ".1" extension and other times only 1 file out of the entire set will have this appended - when this occurs it's typically the 1st un-numbered rar (i.e .rar vs r01).

I used to only have this issue when duplicates of a set were downloaded, but the duplicates issue was resolved with enabling the "prevent duplicate downloads" setting.

A side effect of this is that SABnzbd doesnt automatically repair or extract any of these files (although quickpar can repair the .1 files without a problem).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

If you get filenames with an .1 extension, the only possible cause is that the
NZB file contains duplicate files.
