I have installed Sabnzbd on a server in my homenetwork, and I really like the watchfolder feature. On my normal PC I download nzb's from binsearch.info to my normal Download folder located on the same PC. Now I want Sabnzbd to watch this Download folder (which is shared) for nzb's. The only problem I get now, is that when I have rebooted my normal PC, Sabnzbd will give an error like "ERROR Cannot read Watched Folder" because the normal PC isn't accesible. This is not a very big problem because the PC will be back, but Sabnzbd seems to just stop looking for the Watched Folder since it wasn't accesible for one time!
How can I fix this problem? Or do I have to save my nzb's to a folder on the server? (Which is far difficult because I don't want all my Firefox downloads there)

Re: Remote watched folder
It should not stop looking.
However it will complain only once when it misses the folder.
It's better to put the Watched folder on the PC where SABnzbd runs.
For an easy way to handle NZB files, use a utility like nzbStatus or look at http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/howto-associate

Re: Remote watched folder
Hey thanks for the answer, the Firefox plugin seems to be a great solution 
But I just can't contact the Sabnzbd site on my PC for this time but I'm gonna fix that.

Re: Remote watched folder
SABnzbd does not handle a missing network drive correctly.
This will be fixed in 0.4.0 RC3
