I am creating a node type which is like a Magazine with lots of audio files. So I create a separate field for each MP3, then I load the MP3s from my computer into the web interface.

Then I checked my FTP folder and noticed this (see the attached image). It almost seems random since some files are not duplicated.

This wouldn't be that much of a problem, except my current host is has caps on disk space.

Are you using FileField Paths or any other modules to extend FileField? If you can provide a workflow to reproduce the problem, that will help identify how to fix it.

All I am using in this regard is CCK (the content module) and SWTTools to play the MP3s on the page.

I also added all the fields first, then once everything was in place, I pressed Upload to each one after the other. Waited. Then noticed the excess in my folder.

I also use the Image module to upload an image too.

Thanks a lot!

I'll need instructions on how to reproduce this problem from a fresh install of Drupal, as I'm unable to reproduce this. Also, make sure you've upgraded to the 3.0 final version, not the RC version.

I actually stopped noticing it?

I was thinking if there was some line of code that causes a loop to happen twice.

Like for example, say a person accidentally hits submit twice. Perhaps if there is a $_SESSION variable which would filter out repeated hits in a 5 second period?

Not sure, I will report back if I see this again

My site has changed so much since that happened, its hard to pinpoint exactly what my set up was back then.
