Not sure when this started happening, but lately when NZBDrone finds a PROPER release, it will keep downloading it over and over again.
It has downloaded the following release 6 times tonight so far.
Shameless.US.S04E02.PROPER.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION
Sounds like an issue that was fixed a while ago, what version of drone are you running?
2.0.0.1062. I had to go in and mark the episode as ignored to stop it from downloading.
What quality was drone detecting the episode as once it was imported?
HDTV-720p every time

It looks like the archive name has PROPER in it, but the file inside the archive does not.
Yeah, the work around we use to fix that is use the quality of the folder (when its better than file, since this is also an issue for Bluray releases) when importing, which works when the files are in a folder named with the release name, but in your case the file is not in a folder named after the release so it will only be able to use the file name.
If you can get your download client to put them in a folder using the job/release/nzb name then it should work for you automatically.
I use sabnzbd, but use a custom script to do some post processing on the files before dropping them into NZBDrone’s Drone Factory folder. I was able to modify the script to place the files in subfolders by nzb name which fixed the problem.
