My problem is that the files don't seem to write to my drive. It seems like it's downloading them, takes 2-3 minutes for a 30 minute tv show at 1.22mbs. Anyway, I keep getting the errors shown below. I thought maybe it was some weird permission issue since I created the folder, not the program. So I deleted them, rebooted, and was able to successfully grab one episode. Then after that I got the same errors again.

I get the same issue with Couch Potato

I'm sure this has been covered before but searching reveals no results that help.

Just to check, I tried re downloading an episode that was successful earlier tonight and it failed..

This is just what we get back from the operating system.
So it must be an access rights or disk full issue.
It doesn't look like the paths are too long.

OK, if someone else has this problem here is the fix.

1) Turn off UAC in Windows 7

This probably didn't solve the issue but it was part of my process. Got sick of Win7 always asking me if it was OK to run any program I clicked on.


2) Go to the main folder where the files are stored while downloading. right click and select properties.  You want to make sure each group or user name has full control checked off.  Select edit, check off Full Control, hit apply. Then go to Advanced and make sure each user/group is listed with full control. If they aren't edit these as well.  close out the window and it will be good to go.

SABnzbd does not need any admin privileges.
If it does then you're telling it to write to folder that it has no access too.
Check where its administrative files are stored.
You can see that in Config->Folders.
By default SABnzbd will store those files in user's AppData folder.
So the only possible cause I can think of is that somehow SABnzbd
cannot find your user profile data.
