Ah yeah good point – for a couple of categories I have different paths. My thought process there was to drop the completed downloads on the disk I'd ultimately end up wanting them on, thinking that it'd be more efficient to place them there from the outset.

Right now I have 3 different drives for my 3 different categories so the defaults I have there ^^ are for the largest disk if/when I have something uncategorized, otherwise I'd prefer to just place them directly on the appropriate drive from the getgo.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting how the categorization works? I was under the impression that it uses the temp dl folder to obviously download but then once it's verified, the extraction places it at the path I have outlined in Config > Categories.

Regardless, will try that fresh start thing this weekend and see if that helps. I only have one server anyways so sounds good! Will see where I net out/where the issues start arising. Thanks!

So you are exactly correct how the Category paths work, but sometimes they can cause problems. So let's add new settings one at a time to see what causes the problem
