How to DL Movies to one external and TV Shows to another?

Post by BennyHogan »

I assume this has been asked and answered multiple times, but I've tried every search term combination I can think of and can't come up with anything?
Is this possible to do without creating a script to move the files after they have downloaded to the main drive?  Seems simple enough to do, but I'm having trouble......getting sick of manually moving all my Movies to my other external.


Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided

Why "without creating a script"?

Aren't scripts meant for things like this?

Thanks for the categories suggestion, set up SAB years ago and forgot about them....
Only concern using them is that my Temp folder is on the other drive where I save my TV Shows??

What I'm trying to eliminate is the transfer time after downloading......for example, if I download a 1080p movie I want it to download straight to the movies hard-drive instead of first downloading to my TV shows drive and then having to wait for a 10gb file to transfer back to the movies drive??

Most stuff is packaged in segmented RAR files, so there will
be an unpack action anyway.
In fact unpacking from one drive to another is more efficient
than unpacking within the same drive.
