Why don't you just move it elsewhere?
Alternatively you can change any folder name to a full path (starting with a '/').

hi,

you can either use the mv command as root to move the whole directory to /usr/local, or alternatively if you just need a bigger download folder you can define this under config/folders in the web ui. This means you leave sab where it is, and just tell it to use a different download location, somewhere with more space ;)

the second option i think is pretty much what shypike says but i thought i'd make it a little clearer:)
