I'm just wondering if anyone can help. I have a OSX laptop running SAB on a network which also has a NAS connected. I've setup the completed downloads folder to point to the NAS and this works fine. Sometimes. Unfortunately, every so often the downloads folder reverts to the main laptop instead of the NAS. This is annoying and probably has to do something with the NAS or network setup rather than SAB, but I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction to a solution.
thanks!
Downloads folder keeps defaulting to local machine instead of NAS (DNS-321)

This happens when/if SAB can't access the given drive/directory (on your NAS). It also happens to me with my USB-connected-harddisk which seems to change it's name (GUID).
I don't know how to solve this, other than making sure the drive/directory is always accessible for SAB...

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I notice my GUID to the NAS seems to change as well. Perhaps if others are having similar issues, there could be a way to specify alternate directories? Since it appears to fluctuate between two different GUIDs (i.e /Volumes/Volume_1 and /Volumes/Volume_1_1)
