Downloads twice?

Post by Macamba »

Hi,

At the moment I'm downloading (again :P ). When I check the folder the downloads are extracted to I see two folders. Say I instructed SabNZBD to download 'Film X'. After the download is completed I see a 'Film X' folder AND a 'Film X.1' folder. Does anyone know what is going wrong?

I quite obviously downloaded it twice  ;D. But as far as I could see it occurred only once in my download list. That made me puzzled  ???. Now I would like to know what could have caused it. Might it be that I was over eager while selecting what should be downloaded, eg, when I created the nzb file  ::) ?

Adddadum:

What's in each of the folders? Is one of them empty?

Each folder contained a full complement of what I intended to download. So none was empty.

Interesting this is happening to me as well. I know I only download once and the nzbdStatus plug-in picks it up and puts it in my queue twice. Right now I just go to the queue and delete the second entry. Using newzbin or manually giving it a nzb does not cause this duplication, only just when the plug-in automatically intercepts the nzb.

@jlagathy:Turn off "Send nzb files to this daemon" in nzbdstatus then. A feature of nzbdstatus is to send nzb files downloaded from firefox to sabnzbd no matter where they are saved.

I believe the original posters issues are solved now, due to running two copies of sabnzbd. Is this the case?

@switch: I was running only 1 sabnzbd.

I did notice my version of nzdbstatus was not up to date so I updated that and the intercept now only adds it once.
