Drive Full + Server auth causing hang.

I was downloading and ran out of hard drive space. Somehow, my category got changed and started downloading to a different drive. That drive filled about the same time that my Usenet access had expired. I received 20+ warnings about the connection not being accepted because of invalid username/password. I reupped my usenet access and went to resume downloading, with the correct category and more than enough space to complete the task.
I could view the "Home" page, but everything else hanged. I couldn't access any of the other tabs. I attempted to restart the service, but it just hanged there as well. I'm using Plush+ if that matters.
Just giving you a heads up. I forced the task to end and restarted, all is well.

This is the reason you can set a minimum free space in Config->Folders.
When reaching the minimum space, SABnzbd pauses automatically (can can send you an email).
When the disk is really full, some data may get lost.
The combination with the expiring subscription doesn't help of course.
Why the complete hangup occurred, I cannot explain.
Usually the GUI is quite independent of what happens to the rest of SABnzbd.
Was the full drive also the boot drive? Most OSses don't like full disks either.

Maybe a good idea to go fail-safe and have a default value activated, for example "250M". With 250M, you will not cripple your OS.

It was not my boot drive, and I have it set to 1024 megs.
That's why I figured I'd let you all know.
