Also known as: duplicate release
The same release posted more than once, whether by accident, as a repost after decay, or renamed by a different poster. Indexers list each posting separately, so a search can return several entries for one item. Download clients and automation tools keep a history of completed release names and skip anything matching, which stops the same file downloading twice.
