SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

I've been using sabnzbd for a while now, but I keep getting series folders showing up the root directory on C:\, even though my download directory is on G:\. Once a file is complete, it is successfully moved to the G:\ drive, but many large files remain. I have scoured the settings to find anything that might be using C:\, even as a temporary directory. The reason this is an issue for me is that my C:\ drive is only a 30GB SSD, and Windows takes up about 27GB.

I'm also using Sonarr (formerly NZBDrone), but I'm not allowing that to handle my actual downloads. This is all done by sabnzbd.

Any suggestions? My current workaround is to log in every so often and delete all of the created directories to free up space. Once done, the server restarts where it left off and completes any other downloads. This is really annoying.

Thanks in advance.

What is G:? A network drive aka NAS?

It's a physical drive in the computer.

I would set SABnzbd's logging to +Debug, and download, and check the logging.

Where do these files remain?
There are two important download locations.
The temporary download folder.
The default destination folder.
Other than that, it is possible to set a destination folder per category.
Which folders did you set?

GRRR.

So, it turns out that Sonarr overrode the download folder for each series. I have updated all of my series folders and it seems to be working as intended.

Thanks for all your help!
