Disk full -- proper steps to take to complete download?

I just finished downloading a 120GB NZB, but it failed while unpacking because I ran out of disk space.

I've since plugged in an external HD. How can I tell this specific NZB to unpack on my external HD instead?

I'm tempted to unpack the files myself using UnRarX or something, but I'm afraid I might screw up the download and have to start over.

If the download verified properly, you can use an exterrnal tool.
You can also set the final destination differeny in Config->Folders or
Config->Categories and just use the Retry link in the job's History entry.

Thanks Shypike.

The file verified and repaired just fine. I copied it from the Incomplete folder to my external HD, and I'm currently unpacking it with The Unarchiver.

Is this also an acceptable workaround? Or should I change the final destination folder as you suggested and retry?

What works, works. Doesn't matter how you solve it.
Don't forget to remove the job from History after UnRarX has unpacked it.

Done and done. All seems to have unpacked well and appears to be working fine.

Thanks.
