This is something that came up when trying to troubleshoot a different issue, but basically for some reason SABnzbd is returning the same nzo_id for different downloads of the same file, even though the other tool is (properly) looking for the new nzo_id, the history is only returning one. An example is shown below:

Is there any reason for this, or is this a bug? Is there anything I can do to try and stop this?

Could you give some more information?
You add, at once, multiple jobs for the same file and in the queue already they share the same nzo_id?
Or only when added to history?

I can chime in here, as Offspring was talking to me when we came upon this.

He's using a program that monitors sab for completion via api based on finding the nzo_id in the sab history. Sending to Sabnzbd is done via Mylar, and subsequent monitoring is done using Harpoon based on the nzo_id returned from that specific send.

The problem seems to be when Pause on Duplicates is enabled, the nzo_id changes from what it was initially sent back as during the initial addurl command. So even tho the job has completed, the nzo_id it's trying to reference for completion doesn't exist as its been changed for some reason.

With the option disabled, the nzo_id did not change after the initial addurl (which would be the expected result I would think). The program was then able to find it in the history with no problems.

Offspring got a little confused in the initial post due to all the things we were testing, so he asked me to try and clarify things.
