Hi all!

I have.., problem?, i was downloading a big file with jd2, i thought i close it, so i open jd2 again and i put download, then i notice there was 2 instances of jd2 downloading the same file....

I would like to know if the downloaded file is right or corrupted (i don't have the crc32), this will depends of how jd2 save the data, ¿jd2 put the downloaded data in the end of the file?, ¿or write in the specific section calculated via the already downloaded data for the instance?

Maybe i miss something, anyway, i would like know this.

Thx.

What system are you using?
JDownloader detects running instance and under *normal condition* you can't start it twice from same installation/directory. Also at least on windows, it's not possible to open the same download again when still opened by your other JDownloader instance.

Or do you have 2 installations and downloaded the same file?

The data must be written at correct position within file , else chunking(using several connections) wouldn't work I can't guarantee that the file is not corrupted but I would say the risk is low.

Hi!, thx for your answer, i'm using linux, Gentoo 64, and is the same installation folder, for some reason i can run more than 1 instance.

Thx!

Ah, that at least explains the *open file twice*
How do you start JDownloader? Any shortcut/launcher?
JDownloader checks for running instance and just forwards parameters to running instance. Either this *check for running instance* is blocked (eg firewall/permission) or does have issues on your setup or you explicit tell the launcher/JDownloader to ignore running instance and start new one.

Hi, i install jd2 in the Documents folder, and i use the laucher of gnome to open it, i recently format the computer, and i don't enabled any firewall for now, so should not affect, jd2 is open as user, not root.

The shortcut have this inside

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=JDownloader 2
Exec=/bin/sh "/home/pipe/Documents/Apps/jd2/JDownloader2"
Icon=/home/pipe/Documents/Apps/jd2/.install4j/JDownloader2.png
Categories=Network;Application;

Thx.

Can you send me the file /home/pipe/Documents/Apps/jd2/JDownloader2 to support@jdownloader.org
I want to check if it passes any *start new instance* parameter.

Thanks for the mail. I could not reproduce the issue. I've tried our linux installer
and I'm not able to start JDownloader multiple times.
Please try the following. Close JDownloader. Delete the logs folder and try to reproduce the issue with multiple starts. Then close JDownloader, zip the logs folder and send me the zip
Maybe I can seen a hint why JDownloader is unable to find/communicate with running instance.

Hi Jiaz, i try reproduce this again, and i couldn't, so i was thinking how this happen.

Maybe i saw jd2 was closed, but instead was in a update phase, and from there i can start it again, sadly i can't test this now, when we have some update i can test this.

Bye.

[Jiaz]

Yes, during update phase this could happen. Thanks for the feedback. I will close this thread and please report back in case you found a way to reproduce the *start 2 instances* feature/bug
