Won't mark downloaded releases as such

Help & Support
1

Hiya,

Since I updated to version 2.0.0.598, whenever I download an release it is not marked as already downloaded. That means that if it for some reason breaks and I try to search for it, it will download the exact same version again.

I can give two examples of this:

Rome Season 1.
When I make a search, it finds all the episodes of season 1 for Rome, but unfortunally these can not be downloaded due to missing parts. If I then try to make a search again, it will try to re-download the exact same one.

Peaky Blinders Episode 1
Again, it tries downloaded a release (SD proper). Fails due to missing parts. If I then do a new search for it (auto) it tries to download the same episode again.
If I check the manual search page, no releases are marked as already downloaded

I’m 99% sure that releases that has been attempted to download should be marked as such, right? This does not appear to work for me in the latest version.

Possibly releated that I just noticed, when I try to manually download a release, I get an error in bottom right saying:
[POST] Internal Server Error : /api/release

Thing is, I can not find a error log in niether logs, nor logfile that corresponds to this error.

No, thats not a feature that NzbDrone currently supports, we do plan on supporting it though. Starting with SABnzbd and possibly continuing with other download clients.

Are you sure? Lol
I know automatic re-downloading is not there, but I was almost sure that I had seen releases sent to sabnzbd marked as “Already exist” or something similar, so that it didn’t keep trying to download the same release over and over?
Did I dream this?

You’ll get that if the file exists on disk.

Previously drone would check history when searching, which would prevent the same quality (not the same release) from being downloaded again, but since drone prefers higher quality releases that change should have no effect on this behavior.

Drone has never had a blacklist feature where known bad/previously downloaded releases are added.

in new version of drone we store the original scene title of release in history along with the indexer. we could possibly use that as blacklist. this would be more accurate than just checking history for quality since a bad release won’t block a different release with the same quality.

so 30.Rock.S05E23.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION wouldn’t block 30.Rock.S05E23.720p.HDTV.X264-ANOTHER-RELEASE

do you guys think that would work?

That should work, I’d add it as another spec so it could be still manually downloaded, but would be skipped for automatic searches.
