Hey guys,
I just setup SabnzbD for the first time to work with Newsdemon and So far I really like it. I always used Newsrover. I set SabnzbD to download temporary files to my boot drive and my completed downloads are set to my secondary hard drive. My Boot Drive has 300 GB of free space and my secondary drive has 1.2 TB of free space. I set over 600 GB to download using SabnzbD. Will I have enough disk space on my boot drive for all 600GB files?. After SabnzbD extracts a file does it automatically delete the temporary files. Should I set SabnzbD to download Temporary files to my secondary drive?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Not enough free disk Space to Complete Downloads
Normally the temp folder should have enough space to hold files for two jobs.
There can be reasons for the post-processing queue to hold up, like a really heavy repair.
You can set a minimum threshold for free space on the temp drive, below that downloading will stop.
Unfortunately we haven't implemented auto-resume when more space becomes available.
To be completely safe, you can use the second disk as temp folder.
It will be a bit slower in unpacking.
