Picking up nzb files in a non-watched folder?

Post by forestplay »

My installation of sab is picking up nzb files in a folder that is not a watch folder.

I can't find where to change this because it's not categorizing the files according to my settings and not removing the file once the download has started.

Any idea how to change this setting?

Are you sure you don't have Auto-Open enabled in Chrome/Firefox? We only read the Watched Folder as set in Config > Folders.
It might be another app doing this? You can see this in the log where the NZB is coming from.

That was it. I was simply looking in the wrong place. Thank you.
