NZB folder setting for multiple NZBs

NZB folder setting for multiple NZBs

Postby newzie » Sat May 11, 2013 8:11 am

Hi

I use "h:\Newsbindown\$(NZBFILE)\" for the NZB folder setting.
I also have the "Load NZB to one post list" enabled.
If I open multiple NZBs, they are being downloaded to the same subfolder, not to separate ones in accordance to their respective NZB names.

I don't want to disable the "Load NZB to one post list" option, as I don't want to go throw multiple windows starting a download.
Is there a workaround for this?

A couple of options:

1. Enable autodownload for double clicked nzbs. You can scan the nzb's then add them later by double clicking.

2. Use an autodownload folder, any nzb's that get dumped in them, start to download.

Otherwise, not really. You want to mush all the files together into one but keep them somehow separate. This infers you want to look at them first - I assume because you might want to vette them - perhaps discard some? That's really what loading files into separate tabs is for. If you have all that many files that you need to scan first, you might consider just dumping them into the download queue and perusing them there, live, as things are downloading. You can remove or reorder on the fly. That's probably what I'd do.

If I drag-and-drop 50 NZBs into the Newshosting News Reader, it downloads each of them into a separate folder.
Newsbin can't do that?
The autodownload folder seems like an interesting option though.

If you do this. Then D&D 50 NZB's onto Newsbin, they should each use their own folders (if not, it's just a matter of me fixing it). By dumping them into a common post list, you're telling Newsbin "these are related". I assume there's some reason you're feeding them into a post list instead of downloading them directly?

How do I "download them directly"? or "scan the nzb's"?

1 - In the NZB Options check "Download Double-Clicked NZB's" so, when you double-click one in windows (or do an open from a web browser) they go right to the download list.

2 - In the NZB options, you can setup one or more folder that Newsbin will monitor for NZB Files. Each folder can have it's own download and unrar paths.

3 - You can drag and drop NZB's onto the download list.

When i drag and drop into the "download list", Newsbin just opens another tab in "Search" - doesn't start the download automatically.

Do this and they end up in the download list.

That helped, but can there be 2 separate settings? I don't want Newsbin to start downloading an NZB that I double clicked by mistake.

Is this a real problem? I mean, do you often double-click NZB's by mistake?

Doesn't happen often, but does happen. Not critical, but would be nice.
