Incomplete Dir location resets on restart

Post by timofcourse »

Ive setup a new install of SAB on Windows of which use network shares to store complete and incomplete downloads. For some reason incomplete downloads path keeps resetting back to Downloads/incomplete when I restart SABnzbd. Not sure if it matters, but Im also running SAB as a service.

Any thoughts as to why this keeps happening?

Thanks!

This happens when the set directories (in your case: network shares) are not (yet) available at the moment SABnzbd starts.

Is it possible to delay sab from starting until the shares are available?

I don't use Windows myself, but the first Google hits on "windows delay service startup" look helpful

Use the Config->Special setting "wait_for_dfolder".
