6.4 Build 2057 Download Folder Problem

[MichaelW_]

Just installed the latest. Regardless of what I set the download folder to (in this case, g:\Newsbin Download, it ONLY downloads to c:\Newsbin Download). Any ideas?

Well, even worse, I downgraded back to 6.34. It is now doing the same thing, only downloading everything to c:\newsbin download instead of g:\newsbin download like it is set in options. Nothing is overridden in the group properties. Even if I implicitly override the group settings, when I start newsbin up it just saves to c:\newsbin download. Help!!

Addition: I have temporarily gotten around this by creating a directory symbolic link between the two directories, but for other folders where I had changed the download folders these are all going to directories on drive C instead of G where they should be

My normal download drive is "X:\$GOG)\"

I just changed it to "Y:\$(GOG)\" and the next thing I added to the download list went to "Y:\<group parent>\"

So, I'm not seeing it off the top of my head. Then I changed it to "Y:\Newsbin Download\" and the next thing I added went to that folder.

So, at this point I'm not seeing it.

How are you feeding files to the download list? NZB Autoload, headers, search?

I wonder if OP is falling foul of the issue that items already in the download queue do not get the new download path assigned to them. It is only new ones that are added that reflect the changed setting.

Yeah, I was wondering that too.

Uh, yup. That was it. Weird that the latest beta changed my download path and left every other option as it was.

same here my default path says f:\hold\$(group), everything goes to f:\hold

Is it the same answer too? That these files were already in the download list?
