Sorry if this has been covered before I'm a SABnzbd n00b.....I'm trying to setup a way to have my dl's automatically sorted into the appropriate folder without having to bring up the SABnzbd window and MANUALLY select what sort of file I'm downloading.  Any ideas??
Also curious if there is a way to restart a failed dl without re-downloading the .nzb???

Thanks in advance

How are you adding the files to sabnzbd?

If you are using a watched folder, simply create a folder inside the watched folder named "tv". All items placed there will be assigned the TV category when picked up.

See the watched folder part of this page for more info http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/configure-directories

I'm using Mac OSX and manually search for my .nzbs on nzbs.org (wish I knew how to setup some some of auto-download applescript??) and have SABnzbd set to monitor my dl's folder where my .nzbs are setup to save through Safari. I download both movies and tv show .nzbs through nzbs.org so I don't know how putting a "tv" folder inside my watched folder would do anything to make it know if it was a tv show or movie??
I must be missing something
