[SOLVED] queue empty after Temporary Download Folder change

Post by renegaed »

Hi I was in the process of download a file. About half-way through I decided to change the Temporary Download Folder and Completed Download Folder location. After restarting, SAB took up the changes but my download queue has disappeared. Is there any way i can tell SAB to resume my downloads. I still have my nzb files handy.

Thanks.

OK I solved it using the following method:
1. re-add the same nzb file
2. Copy and overwrite all files from the old directory into the new one
3. restart SAB. SAB will attempt to extract the file and it fails due to missing parts.
4. Click repair and upload the same nzb file again as a supplementary nzb file
5. SAB will then do some verification checks and re-download the missing pieces and extract the file.

Awesome. This saved me having to download the whole thing all over again.
