Hi all,

I just moved from NINAN and I find this prog very nice, but a few questions/remarks if I may:

1. When I download, I download to an ntfs formatted drive, I access that drive over the network. stuff that I download with this prog, I cannot touch (rename etc...) with NINAN no such problem, how can I fix this?

2. Is there a way to have the files downloaded to the location, not to incomplete and then moved around but to the final destination, like f:/movies/moviexxx with no incomplete messing up my drive?

3. Is there a way to add a restart button to the web GUI? A lot of actions require it, when you configure, or just want to restart it.

1. It must something with the rights you set.
SABnzbd just uses default permissions, meaning that it follows permissions of the parent folder.

2. Most downloads require an unrar.
The way SABnzbd does things is optimal for this, especially when you have two drives.
When you place incomplete and complete on the same drive, the files are moved
and not copied. Moving files on the same drive is very efficient on Windows.

3. The next release will a) require less restarts and b) have a restart button.
