Can you check your file explorer and see if there are duplicate folders for those chapters?
Send a screen if there are

[rocketlawnchair]

No duplicate folders. But I do see duplicate cbz files.

[nonproto]

Is this only happening on merged chapters?

[rocketlawnchair]

i believe the whole manga is merged.

[nonproto]

I meant is it only MangaLife chapters that do this redownload? If so its likely the url is changing and so its being seen as a new chapter.

[rocketlawnchair]

I only have mangalife as my source. So I can't give you a control group for a second one.

[nonproto]

So you have no manga that you read with Dex chapters?

[rocketlawnchair]

Sorry. Not currently. I'll try to keep a few versions for when the big shows up again.

Can confirm here too. I got the latest update and downloaded chapters sometimes stop loading and start redownloading. I only use Dex as source so it's def an app issue.

They try to redownload while online as well. If I cancel downloading a chapter that's already been downloaded, these chairs show as no longer being downloaded and I have to wait for it to fetch the online version. This is particularly annoying on some web toons that use extremely short sections (900+ images per chapter on one I read recently, I eventually gave up and dropped that one because I could read 3 chapters in the time it took to download one)
