Download a file larger than Temp folder

Hi,

So that's what I want, but SABNZBD wont let me..
Due to other software, right now my Temp Folder isn't big enough for this download. So I figured: let's move the already downloaded rar files from incomplete to the completed folder, run the nzb again, but first, delete the rars already downloaded in SABNZBD (by clicking on the cue entry, select and delete those rars).
At first, It looks like this workaround 'works', but then after a minute or so, the new incomplete download moves down, with a text saying: 'aborted, can't be completed'.
What would be the trick to do this, if possible at all..

thanks!

SABnzbd needs to have all files in one place because of verification and unpacking.
It cannot work with the files in different places.

Thanks SP, but in this case, there's no verification or unpacking (just downloading). I wanted to do that when the file's complete.
So there's no way to do what I want?

One way is to do it in two steps.
First load the NZB and delete half the files in th file list.
After the download completes, move the files, load the NZB again and delete the other half of the files.

I think you also should pause the queue and only then add the NZB. Once it starts downloading and you delete files then, it might miscalculate the completion ratio.
