Double reputation points awarded for each file downloaded from an article

Hi, It seems to me that I'm being awarded reputation points twice for each file attached to an article that I download. For example, from my reputation history:

I rated the article[^], and then downloaded the single source file associated with it. And yet there are two entries awarding me points. Same thing for other articles, when I downloaded 2 files I get four points entries, etc.

Thanks - we'll look into this and see what's happening.

Hi, Can it be the case that you downloaded the same file more than once? (I just tried it myself, and when i download a file once, i get points once, but when I am downloading the same file again, I get another 2 points)
Sincerely, Elina Life is great!!! Enjoy every moment of it! :-O

It's possible that the cause is related to that somehow. I certainly don't download the same file twice, but perhaps when I right-click the link to the file, and select "Save Link As" (Firefox 4) then two HTTP GET/HEAD requests are sent for some reason. The FlashGot Firefox add-on is also installed, and perhaps that is interfering in some way. In any case, if you don't feel this is a problem then please disregard my post :)

Hi, I asked because I wanted to know, what is the reason for the problem. The case you described is interesting, and it may be the reason for 2 requests at the same time. But I think, it is fixed already and will be deployed to live soon. We will also take care of existing duplicate entries. And thank you for the reporting.

Cool, I'm already looking forward to the drop in my points :laugh:
