Basic Q - limitations of standalone version / standalone = portable?

Post by KuroNeko »

I'd like to know if I can use the standalone version as a portable edition, on a USB drive? If yes, are there limitations vs the installed Sabnzbd? Thanks!

Yes, I think so. Make sure you point sabnzbd.ini (-f) to the USB drive, and also your directories Incomplete and Complete.

You can run it using the portable.cmd, this will force it to use a locally hosted sabnzbd.ini!
