Can SABNZBD+ spill over onto a seperate storage device?

Post by ReflexReaction »

Hi,

Firstly, want to say a massive thanks to the devs + community for this app, one of the best there is!

Ok, enough of this. My question...

Is there any way to get SABNZBD+ to use MORE than one storage device / download folder?

I have a number of hard drives, and i'd like it to make sure of them both...!

If not, can this be considered a feature request?  E.g. when < 1gig free on c:\downloads use d:\downloads

Thanks!

RR

you could always have different categories of download go to different drives...

It can't do what you describe at the moment. It's something I'd like too actually.

At some point I am looking to add better support for external (over usb, ethernet) drives. This would set a preferred order to to unrar items to, falling back on the complete drive if the external drive is unreachable, or below a certain free space limit.

I may look into Increasing the number of such drives you could have for this sort of functionality.
