downloads get duplicated

[markeh]

Using 6.62: 00 06 39 F9 E2 60

Something has changed recently.
Downloads from a.b.e-books are getting duplicated.That is, I download a file once, and it appears twice in the "Files list" tab. Even weirder, the two downloaded files are listed next to each other, but have different dates - one the day I did the download, and another in the recent past.

Of course, Calibre then imports the same book twice.

Any clue as to what's going on?? Using Giganews, if that makes a difference.


thnx...

They have different filenames?

Of course since I posted....
House lost power, computer crashed, Newsbin crashed.
On restart, not duplicated. If it happens again, I will respond.


thnx,

OK - I'm restarting this. The problem is that usually Calibre is running, which moves the two original files, losing all evidence. The file duplication (and book duplication in Calibre) happens pretty often.

I just downloaded a file, and got a duplicate (Calibre not running). Here are the details:

group is alt.binaries.e-book
subject is : New eBooks 31 August 2015 - <tmi>.rar" yEnc

<tmi> (mobi).mobi 627908

Two files were in my system:

<tmi> (mobi).rar
<tmi> (mobi).mobi

Meaning that both the rar and the result of decoding were left.

So is Calibre pulling both the MOBI and the RAR?

Do you have the duplicate detector enabled? (Advanced options)

Yes - Calibre sees two files, and imports both. Calibre un-rars the compressed file, and I end up with the book repeated

No real damage done, I just need to delete one later.

Yes - use duplicate detector is on, folder dup bypass is off

Sometimes one gets downloaded, sometimes two. I don't see any pattern yet.

Wonder if disabling unrar for that group would be a good idea? You can do it from the group properties.

Hmmmm - that would be cheating
