SABnzbd Forums

I use groups to move downloads to another drive from my primary download drive (where sabnzd downloads to).  I did this primarily because when watching something while downloading all on the download drive, it would lag when verifying and unpacking took place.  However it seems that the way sabnzbd is written, it unpacks directly to the destination folder/drive and my problem still exists.  Is it possible to verify and unpack all on the initial download location, then just move the completed files to the final destination?  This may be a feature req., I'm hoping you'll tell me.

Cheers,

Jon

Moving and unpacking will both stress the destination drive, there is little difference between the two so changing it to move instead of unpacking will have little difference.

If you are on linux, make sure to use ionice. Unfortunately unrar.exe hasn't been modified to make use of I/O priorities that were put in Windows Vista and Win 7.

How/where do i enable ionice?

Thanks.  This has made a world of difference!
