Download Folder Problems

Post by yumcake »

Hi, each time I start SABnzb I must change the download folders because my external hard drive isn't recognized.

I have to go change the folders every single time and it seems to keep adding numbers to my list of options. (External 1, External 2, External 3, etc.)

Is this a weird problem with SABnzb or is it my stupid Western Digital hard drive?

Anybody have a solution? Thank you!

This happens when the external hard drive is not (yet) available at the moment you start SABnzbd. Soluton: Start SABnzbd a bit later. You did not say OS which you use (Linux, OSX, Windows), but for Linux and Windows there is a solution for a delayed-start. Search this forum for it.

Release 0.7.1 will solve this issue for the final destination folders.
Not for the "tempoprary download folder", that one must be present at startup.
