I have it all installed and can download. but i cant seem to work out how to configure sabnzb to change its incomplete and download folder to another drive in the computer.

No matter what i seem to do it always does what it wants. I figure there is a right and wrong way of doing it?

any ideas?

Simply enter in the full path, such as D:\Downloads
A tip for OSX users, to save to an external drive, enter /Volumes/nameofdrive/Downloads
To save to a network share, make sure it has write access and enter \\NameOfPc\\Folder
You currently cannot use this for the incomplete folder in windows due to a par2 bug.


is that what you meant? as i have tried the first one but it does not solve the issue

Something like this would probably require a restart of sabnzb if you you haven't already tried that. I've been running this on my Linux server for a couple of years now and it's great for RSS feeds ;)

thanks for that. i managed it in the end.

did not really need to do all of this but:

edited my etc/fstab to automount the downloads drive to autostart on bootup. then was able to easily changed the folders location. then changing the chmod of the folders to 777!

linux is great, but simple things can be challenging!
