Single Download Folder

Post by b0x »

I'd really like the option of a single download folder.  In my setup I do not have the space on a separate drive to have a temp download location.  If I do put it on another drive it then has to move all the files from one drive to the other which takes more time and overhead.  Downloading directly to the final location works just fine.  How about a check in the box option to disable the move to completed folder.

Just set the download folder/drive to the same folder/drive as the completed files. If you ahev a downloads/downloading and downloads/completed on the same drive it will move the files to the folder and not have copy them across a separate drive. Or in just a single folder downloads you could have everything, but you might run into folder naming issues where SAB appends .1 to the folder/file due to the same one (without .1) already being there.

Most downloads are RAR files that need to be unrarred.
The current method does this quite efficiently for both a single drive and multiple drives.

I don't want to unrar the files or par check them I already have a separate app that takes care of the paring and I like to keep things in their original form.  I've created a hidden folder under the download directory that just moves from there when it completes.  Not ideal, but will work until the check in the box do not move option can be added.
