SABnzbd Forums

Am having an issue where I am seeing three instances of each download in the queue. I only click once to download the nzb and then I get three complete downloads in my directory. I only want one!

It looks like you're downloading items into the watched folders and then add them to the queue manually as well.
Or are you using RSS feeds and get multiple hits?

Don't think that is it. In my config, my d/l folder and watched folder are unique. I click the nzb once, it in asks if I want to save it or use sabnzb, then I tell it to use sabnzb and that is the last of the interaction from me. Then I check the queue and I have three instances of the d/l.

so I removed the entry for the watched folder and now I am down to two entries in the queue after I initiate a new download.. FWIW, My download dir is a net share path and the temp d/l folder is a local path.

Each download will show (after completion) the source of the NZB.
Try with a small NZB and see if that info gets you anywhere.

It seems that each d/l is coming from the same nzb. One thing I have noticed is that if I click on the nzb link on a web page, I end up with multiple d/l's. However, if I d/l it first, save it to a difft location from the normal d/l folder, then manually click it, it is added to the sabnzb queue with only one instance. Only one d/l results. Weird.

It looks like you have three things active at the same time.
1. A browser plugin that sends NZBs to SABnzbd
2. A Watched folder to which you save the same NZB
3. An association of NZB files with SABnzbd that also triggers

Correct on all three counts. The Firefox addon is called nzbdStatus. Could that be the issue? Thanks for your assistance btw.

Yes of course.
You should stick with one method of entering.
If you're using nzbdStatus, use that and don't use the other methods.
