Multiplel Downloads of same episode

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5153
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.8.0.108
OS: MacOSX 10.13
Description of issue:

My SONARR installation is repeatedly downloading the same episode over and over again. This will go on for a number of times and then just stop. This does not happen on all shows currrently being monitored, but it does happen daily.

Any help appreciated.

what does the history show? ie is it the same torrent/nzb that it keeps downloading over and over, or are there lots of fakes that are getting downloaded then blacklisted until sonarr can find the real one?

I had the same problem. Sometimes different versions, sometimes it would start the download, but the download wouldn’t end and another one for the same episode would start. Still haven’t figured out what happened.

Try going back a version.

OK so as you can see from the image, the episode was downloaded multiple times, without any intervention from me. I have attached the logs and it doesn’t make any sense, except for the bad connection error.

you must have the Download propers option enabled as the torrent name has the REPACK “tag” in it so sonarr is going to see it as a PROPER and download it (even though the quality is the same), the filename in the torrent also has a PROPER “tag”, so it looks like its doing whats its supposed to do

the debug logs could probably do with putting that in there to make it a bit more obvious though (they are debug logs after all, they should be verbose)

Clicking the (i) icon in that screenshot all the way on the right will also give you the release name without digging through logs.

Or, if you click the episode name to get the details, then go to the history tab, hovering over the (?) icons gives similar information.

Yes, Download Propers was enabled. Didn’t even know that existed. Thanks!
