Downloading to a missing external drive

Postby re838uk » Wed Oct 17, 2012 12:13 pm

Occassionally I have to set the download/unrar location of files in my queue to a download location on an external HD, but sometimes I forget to turn the drive on (or have a different drive in) and don't realise till later on. While this is happening the files are being downloaded and reported in the log as not being able to find the target, but it still continues to download and even completes it, but there is no visible file anywhere on the present available drives.

Is it possible to pause the file(s) if the target is not located or have a temporary download location till there is one.

Thanks.

Do you see a listing in the files tab? If yes, what happens if you right click "Open Folder" on the file?

In the file list? Nope, nothing.
