I'll have to give this a shot to test some things, thanks. Currently the only plugins I'm running are:

Find Duplicates
Goodreads
Library Codes
Quality Check

Yeah, I could have explained that better... So essentially I have an automated setup with FlexGet that checks to see if a book exists in my production calibre library (by only searching by title or isbn for performance reasons) *before* downloading the book. This way, it cuts down on a ton of internet traffic, storage space, and cleanup I have to to afterwards. So each time FlexGet finds a book to grab from one of my sources, I'll download it if it doesn't already exist.

Here is an example of that, don't judge the hard coded variables on github please

But having said that, Find Duplicates (i use this pretty liberally), Merge and Quality Check do a great job of picking up where this leaves off.

hope that helps
