Downloading fine, but output files missing

Post by breakingbad »

This is a very strange issue.  I'm on OS X and I've set my download folder as such:  /Volumes/Data/Downloads/complete  (with Data being my secondary drive inside my Mac for movies and music). 

The queue shows perfect downloading of any .nbz.  In the history field, the information rollover states that the file's storage location is /Volumes/Data/Downloads/complete/TV/%filename

I go to Finder and nothing is there.  The downloads folder wasn't even created (this was my first download after changing the completed folder location).  I've done a search for the file and the folder names, but nothing shows up.  My Data drive can be written to- as I just tested something via torrent site and the file was there after downloading from torrent. 

I tried over ten .nbz downloads- all of which worked, but nothing appeared on my Data drive.  The available drive space has remained the same, so I don't think the files are hidden.  I did notice my primary drive's space decreased with each download- but even weirder, the files don't seem to exist on my home directory either.  Finder finds absolutely nothing reflecting the filenames. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all... I fixed this issue by re-installing the app and then renaming my Data drive to something else.  I don't know why this worked, but it did.
