But for that I need to learn how to stop repeated download of same episode from different release groups. For example if the "The Blacklist S04E18" is released by two different groups within minutes of each other, if the 1 download per week limitation is not there, won't it download both the torrents?

In autodl-irssi, on the General tab there is this checkbox "Download duplicate releases". I guess by keeping it unchecked, we can stop repeated download of same episode from different release groups?


EDIT: It seems that "Download duplicate releases" option is only for re-announced releases. So technically, if there are two torrents matching Arrow?S05E19*720p* from two separate release groups, they are considered two different releases and both will be downloaded.

Yeap, this is true. It actually happens only when the 2 releases are very close one to the other, but it happens. If you are on a tight bandwidth you can always keep the 1 download per week and if you skip an episode you can manually download it.
You can also use the Smart Episode filter under Tv/Movies that will remember the last episode you downloaded and doesn't fetch any previous episodes.
