I have 175GB on free space on my Macbook Pro. SABnzbd is telling me I have 41GB of free space....
The folder path is correct to my downloads folder and I have not set up any partitioning on my macbook pro's SSD. I am on v 3.6.0

Re: Showing incorrect free space on my Macbook pro
If you can show a command line command that shows the correct free space, we can implement it for you.
(or a python call)

Re: Showing incorrect free space on my Macbook pro
I'm unfortunately not that tech savvy to do that. Is it just a cosmetic thing or will it actually not let me download past that incorrect "free space" amount?
Re: Showing incorrect free space on my Macbook pro
Yeah that's what happening, as my download progresses, the free space number goes down by the size of the download progress so far.
Re: Showing incorrect free space on my Macbook pro
Are you willing to do a test? Hoping you're on a fast Internet connection:
1) make a note of what Mac says and what SAB says about free space in GB
2) do a download, for example the download in SAB: Wrench -> Status -> 10GB. After downloading, do not delete the download!
3) after the download, again make a note of what Mac says and what SAB says about free space in GB
Repeat and repeat the above until you've downloaded more than the 41GB that SAB is now reporting to you.
Then post the values of 1 and 3 here.
We can then see if it is a constant offset of 175-41 = 134 GB, or something more complex.
So far the problem you describe was only known on Macs with extra/special disk. Which is not the case for you.

Yes, i have a fast connection and can do this test. I will report back. However, I should mention, the values have now changed on SABnzbd. Still not correct, but better.
Free space on my Mac = 167GB
Free space according to SABnzbd 150GB
I didnt do anything, just changed on its own.
I can still do the test you mentioned and report back.

Random. Then testing makes no sense
