SABnzbd Forums

I use sabnzbd on ubuntu, but downloaded files gets owner root which means I have to sudo chown them all which is quite a hassle, so is there a way to ensure they are saved as my local user instead? I have set permission for downloaded files to 777

I opened sabnzbdplus with "sudo sabnzbdplus" is that the reason?

Files are created as being owned by the account under which SABnzbd runs.
There is no other way.
(The only escape is to run SABnzbd as root and do a chown, but it's safer not run as root.)
