    If you get feeds from multiple hubs, you're likely to encounter
    something like

    evnt TICKIT "WW240806.ZIP" already exists in "/sbbs/data/dirs/fidonet/fidoweathe r/", but has no matching Replaces

    Why would you pull the same FDN file areas from more than one hub?

    I've got almost 1000 of these logged since 6th August and they're

    Cleaning up your tickit.ini configuration would stop that, along with
    some FileFix netmails.

    Why do people have who hubs?

    I'll assume you meant "two" hubs. My answer is that you would have two
    hubs to get all the file areas you wanted, where one hub doesn't carry
    them all. But not to get the same file from two different hubs.
    Sometimes people do that (the "FidoWeb") with echomail to ensure
    continuity of message threads and so on, but is it actually critical to
    get a weather pic every day without ever missing one?

    The easy fix, if you insist on such silliness, is to use the "ForceReplace=true" keyword in the Global section of tickit.ini. Then
    when it comes in the second time, it replaces the existing one and no
    warning is issued. Problem solved.

    I've got almost 1000 of these logged since 6th August and
    they're

    Cleaning up your tickit.ini configuration would stop that, along with
    some FileFix netmails.

    What I meant by that was add the ForceReplace line mentioned above,
    and/or stop getting duplicates by unsubscribing from duplicate feeds for
    the same file.

    Do share your wisdom, oh wise one.

    Hope that helped.
