OPML upload - duplicates!
As it seemed to me some feeds were forgotten, I reuploaded my OPML file.
Bammmm. Now I have two copies of all my feeds.
Shouldn't it be handled more inteligently?
PS I am curious what would happen if I uploaded postrank export. But I am afraid to try.
PS2 Even if not automatical, it would be nice if I could issue some "scan for duplicates"

Inappropriate?Mekk, all most popular readers have additive OPML import, which does mean duplicates if you import your OPML file twice. Having said that, that's an annoying edge case. If possible, could you give us the urls of some of the feeds that failed to import?

Inappropriate?Sorry for hijacking, but I have a similar problem. I uploaded a feed from the pro wrestling news site "The Steel Cage" twice; the second time was to troubleshoot a problem I was having in which the AideRSS site was not detecting the feed's news items. Fortunately, it is working perfectly as of today and I only need help to eliminate the duplicate. Thanks in advanced!
I’m confident

We don't detect or otherwise manipulate the contents of OPML feeds, except for tags. If there are duplicates you're importing, you'll have to remove them manually.
Some people have tried using Yahoo! Pipes to scrub that way. -
These were direct uploads in my case. Sorry for not clarifying that earlier.

I see. Yeah, pretty much regardless of course, deleting duplicates is the same -- either select all the feeds to delete, then click the Delete Selected button at the top, or just click the trash can icon to the right of each feed you want to delete.

I believe I have followed your instructions but both the occurrences of "The Steel Cage" in the search results remain.

Indeed they do. One of the devs is taking a look at that duplication.
