the 'Merge collections with same name on import' is checked. It will merge them if i manually queue the par2 file set and the archive. However when they are qued automatically by the rss (after waiting for them to que) then they do not merge.
I don't see how waiting 30 seconds between request is any more friendly then requesting them 5 seconds apart. Its the same amount of data, same request, same http transfer. Its not like every computer loading the rss feed are all synced. In fact since it waits so long to request them, it created a new connection to the server for every request. I think it could be said that its truly less server friendly if you wait and then open a new connection to the server for every request as opposed to using the same socket connection. Also depending on the rss feed, if they enforce a minimum check interval or else your ip will be baned, and depending on how thy determine that, the subsequent connection to get the files may be seen as another rss request if they go by the connection requests to the server and not by calls to the rss feed itself. Not trying to argue or anything, but just trying to look at the reasoning and i can understand why nobody my need it any other way, but sure annoying getting it setup and started and testing the filters.
