Save to different location

Post by 3DPiper »

Is there a way to save to a different location?

Instead of c:/user/my documents/downloads
I would like c:/user/downloads

?

Have you noticed the presence of Config->Folders and Config->Categories?
Both allow you to change any or all destinations.

Under config/folders, it says

Default Base Folder:
C:\Users\(user)\Documents

How do I change the default base folder?

Sorry, I don't see that option..

Use the -f startup option, see: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/command-line-parameters

I've looked at the config file sabnzbd.ini and I still cant figure out what to change. I need to change the Default Base Folder from
C:\Users\username\Documents to G:\NZB

I'm using Windows 7 and cant figure out how to change the default base directory. Can anyone help?
