Scanning of previously DL'd data? about downloaderforreddit

[MalloyDelacroix]

Downloader for Reddit attempts to avoid duplicates in two ways.

First, it sets the last downloaded date for a user or subreddit to the latest post date taken from that user or sub and will not download anything posted before that date during subsequent runs.

The other way is that it keeps a list of every url that it downloads and will not download the same url twice with one caveat. The urls are tracked per user or subreddit. So if say a link is posted to pics that is also posted to earthporn at the same url, the downloader will not detect that and will download both.

The other instance of duplicate content downloads that I have found is that sometimes the same image is posted to a subreddit multiple times but by different users and at different urls. There is no way to avoid this.

But as for avoiding content downloaded with another app, there is no way to automatically avoid these duplicates. The closest thing I can recommend is that you can set DFR's 'Restrict downloads by custom date' to the date that you stopped using the other app, and it will only download posts made after that date.

thanks for the tip!
