6.60 Downloading to Wrong Directory

[sagian2005]

I can't figure out why, but 6.6 is downloading to the wrong drive. It is sending files to my H: drive even though I have it set to the G: drive in options. I even looked at the .nbi file and it's set as the G: drive but it's downloading to H:
If I "Assign a New Path..." in the download list, it will go to the specified drive.

A roll-back to 6.56 sends files to the proper directory.

Did you search the entire NBI? I'm just not sure how it could pick a random drive unless it found it in the NBI file. To verify you did the correct NBI you can "file save/as". It'll show you the name and location of the NBI. Then just cancel instead of saving.

I figured out where and why I was getting confused.

In the .nbi file settings, downloadPath is set to G: - This is what I saw
but the group, downloadPath is set to H: - I forgot this existed. I don't even remember why I had it set this way.

However, in 6.56 I have the Group Property "Use Download Path" unchecked, so it follows the G: path.

In 6.6 the "Use Download Path" check box was removed so the setting didn't carry over and it follows the H: path.

I have it figured out. It's probably going to be rare, but it may throw other people.

Yeah. What threw me was you said it wasn't in the NBI.

[sagian2005]

That's not what I said. I said I couldn't figure out why it was happening and that my download destination showed as my G: drive. I didn't even know to look for group destinations to say it wasn't there.

What threw me was having the check boxes removed.

I even looked at the .nbi file and it's set as the G: drive but it's downloading to H:

Perhaps I read too much into this.
