SABnzbd Forums

Hi there,

apologies if this exists and I just overlooked it but I couldn't find it. Currently, I'm using RSS feeds to find some downloads and if SABnzbd finds more than one copy of the same file, it will download all copies, then extract them with ...(1), ...(2) etc. attached. Is there an option to disable this behavior, i.e. make SABnzbd not unrar a file that is already in the folder?

TIA

Config->Switches->Check Duplicates.

I have "Detect Duplicate Downloads" set to "Pause" but the files were either not detected as duplicates (despite having the same filename and size) or the pause setting didn't work.

"The same file" means exactly the same title, which isn't the case for multiple releases.
You either need to wait for SABnzbd 0.8.0 or use a more sophisticated front-end like SickBeard.
