Hi,
I want to install Sabnzbd on my homeserver, and my system folder is very small, only 20GB by default. Therefor, I want Sabnzbd to store everything, including Downloads, Cache, and Temporary files in a network share path, like \\server\usenet\temp. However, when I configure this path as a temporary path, I get the following error message:
"UNC path not allowed here"
Why? And how can I fix this?
How can I define a UNC-Path as Temporary folder?

Re: How can I define a UNC-Path as Temporary folder?
Before starting SABNzbd, assign a drive letter to the share.
net use k: \\server\usenet\temp
and then use k:\ as path instead.
The reason for this is that the par2 program doesn't understand UNC paths.

Thanks alot, that was exactly my idea, after reading your posting in the older thread that was already there concerning that topic. Sorry for the confusion, I found the other thread a second after I opened this oneshypike wrote: Before starting SABNzbd, assign a drive letter to the share.
