Keeps uploading the same file(s), over and over

[ulfben]

Using version 1.6 and WP 3.6. I uploaded my logfile here, and on pastebin here.

We've been talking on the WordPress forums before. I'm one of the people with huge sites, and is thus forever stuck on 99% complete. I'm mentioning this as it might be related to the issue:

If you click through to pastebin above, you'll notice that Uploaded Files:[{"file":"hdd.JPG","mtime":1198625825}] is repeated 95 times. [{"file":"DSC_7742.jpg","mtime":1294183207}] and [{"file":"DSC_7579.JPG","mtime":1294185037}] have been uploaded 59 and 57 times respectively.

I picked these as examples, since they're the most frequent offenders and Dropbox keeps constantly notifying me of them being updated.

Is there anything I can do to rule out issues on my side?

Hmm, that is interesting.

How big are those files?
Are they being logged as uploaded in the processed_files database table?

I queried for the three files mentioned as they keep bothering me. There might be others, but I'm not keeping track of it.

These three - hdd.JPG, DSC_7742.jpg and DSC_7579.JPG are all in the table, all with offset 0 and uploadid NULL.

Whenever I visit or log on to the site, one or more of these get's updated in my Dropbox.

The files are between 50-250 kilobyte each. I have ~4800 attached images in the media library of this particular WordPress installation, and the vast majority of those are not causing any troubles, I think. :)

Hope that helps.

Are there any updates on this issue? My WP2DB is uploading the same two or three images for weeks now, and I have no idea how to fix this.

Here is my log if it is any help ...

I realize this is a really old thread, but something pretty similar to this is happening to me only recently. Was there any resolution to this, perhaps? Thanks!

I'm still having the exact same issue (through every version of WP and WP2DB since I reported the issue).

It has forced me to disable desktop notifications for Dropbox, so I don't have to see these files re-uploaded over and over and over again.

The plugin works fine, mind you, but it is annoying. :)

Interestingly enough, my problem involves 3 .jpg files as well. Mine are 3 sizes of the same file:
filename.jpg
filename-150x150.jpg and
filename-90x90.jpg

I'd be glad to to provide additional details for debugging/troubleshooting purposes. I'm using the plugin on perhaps a half dozen sites, and this only occurs on one of them.
