If you on windows - do you save downloaded files on Unraid box?

 

For example downloading from Firefox browser - save them in cache?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do but.....

 

On Windows any downloaded files I save to the local PC first and then rename/edit/do what you want with it and then transfer over to the array afterwards if I want to keep the file or share over the network.

I am trying to organise how to deal with downloading files and which path it should go to.

 

When I use Sabnzbd, it save into cache drive into sabnzbd folder.. Then I move those files to array manually.

 

I think with Firefox, I will download into local hard disk PC

Don't run SABNzbd but I would download that stuff to cahce. All my torrents go to the cache drive.

 

Local stuff I download to that PC and transfer what I want across. There isn't much that I download on my PC that I want protection for.

Did originally have everything dumped to the unraid tower , but changed it slightly

I have 60gb SSD drive,running windows 7,

 

My docs /my pics/downloads/music /videos all point to the unraid

 

Though had a spare 250Gb hd , so now downloads and temp files to go it, rest goes to the unraid tower.

 

by default you cant redirect docs/videos/music/pictures to a network location unless they are indexed (offline) to get around this i used  a brilliant app called "Win7 Library Tool v1.09"

 

This sets its up and it works.

 

I have an older 300 GB HDD that I download everything to.  There I rename, delete extranous files, add nfo files and artwork via Ember Media Manager, make sure subs are included and working, then transfer to unraid server.  I do use sabnzbd, but not couch or sickbeard. 

I download so much I am forced to download everything to my unRAID box. If I don't I'll run out of space pretty quickly. Since I have 'unlimited' download ability I'll download whatever I can get and then sort through it later.
