Hi friends!

I'm new here and it's a pleasure interacting with you. Unfortunately my first post reports a problem.

In recent days I noticed that after finishing download, jdownloader warns that the file already exists on folder. This has happened a few times.

I noticed that this happens because the jdownloader starts to download again what was completed.

It would be a bug?

Thank you very much.

that simply means the file already exists! this happens in case you put mirror links into downloadlist, nothing bad.
jd will continue to download normal and skip the already existing files.

without more information like example links/logfiles/screenshots we cant help

Thanks Jiaz!

I'll try to take a screenshot when it occurs again. But I can say that there were no files in folder and there was no mirror link. I use JDownloader long ago and it is properly configured. It started a few days ago.

Isn't JD suppose to download simultaneously from all mirrored links into one file (split into parts)?

[Jiaz]

no it is not. it can handle interchangable links

What do you mean by handle?

It can detect whether a file already exists in your download folder. It also takes into account the setting of the option "If the file already exists:".

I think I lost you.
Let's say I'm starting to download a file which has links from 3 different hosts.
All of these links reside in the same package.
What should happen when:
a. All 3 links are starting after a router reconnect.
b. Link #1 is waiting for ip renewal.

jd does start one link and the the other
it starts a link and all following will check if a link is in progress with same destination file and will disable if skip file is set in settings.

So if the first link is broken then JD will use the second one and so on?
That's the purpose of mirroring?

[Jiaz]

no thats currently not possible, it will only handle the mirrors in meaning: not download twice. such a mirror handling will come once the mirrorcontroller is done
