SabNZBd reverts to wrong directory

Version: (Ex: 0.7.3Beta1)
OS: (Ex: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
Install-type: (Ex: PPA)
Skin (if applicable): (Ex: Plush)
Firewall Software: (Ex: Linux, who cares...)
Are you using IPV6? (no)
Is the issue reproducible? (yes)

SabNZBd has a build in protection system that reverts the temporary download directory to Downloads/Complete if the directory configured is missing. This causes my server to fill up the wrong disk if my RAID array is offline.

Can you please make this feature optional?
If the download directory is missing i would like SabNZBd to pause.

reverts the temporary download directory to Downloads/Complete
Which one is it? The "temporary download folder" or the "completed download folder"?
You're contradicting yourself.

The "temporary download folder" is a must for SABnzbd, it's where its queue data is stored.
It's not an option.
The only work-around is to check its existence before starting SABnzbd.

I ment the temporary download folder, and the check you speak of should (in my opionion) be part of the SabNZBd config.

Not really.
What are the options?
Bailing out with a fatal error?
Waiting? How long? Wouldn't that be confusing too?
