SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

Hoping someone can shed some light on this.  Noticed from yesterday, there were a ton of shows which were redownloaded.

I have RSS feeds for these TV shows.  For some reason it started redownloading shows as if it didnt recognize the download history.

Wasted nearly 8gb.  Luckily I was able to spot it before it used up more data.

Any ideas why this occurred?

Appreciate any thoughts

There are several possible causes:
The RSS feeds thinks it has found new items, while they're not.
You don't have duplicate detection on in Config->Switches.

SABnzbd will not re-download an identical URL from the feed,
unless the URL was absent for more than a week.
SABnzbd will compare titles also, when you have duplicate detection on.
But also here the memory is limited to 1 week.
Only when you have an NZB backup folder set in Config->Folder,
duplicates can be tested as long as you don't clear the folder.
