Chunks folder location

Postby crawfish » Fri Feb 14, 2014 3:10 am

My data folder is on one drive, but my download folder is on another. The Chunks folder is appearing in the data folder. Is this right? I would rather all the writes for a download go to the designated download drive.

Might want to move the data folder.

Alternately you can increase the number of memory chunks Newsbin uses. Normally Newsbin doesn't write anything to the chunks folder as long as the file being download has fewer chunks than the size of the chunk cache. Basically everything downloads to memory and it written to disk from memory.

In the configuration file you could add:

[PERFORMANCE]
ChunkCacheSize=?

The default is 200. If you have a bunch of RAM, you might make it 400 so, most files just buffer in memory.

Thanks. I fixed it by deleting my cache and starting over.

You will be able to set this in 6.60. It's already in there.
