Please reconsider hard coded download paths #50

Hi

I was inpecting the db file and I see that the download paths are all hard coded in the db, please reconsider this design approach.

One of the main reason why I think this should be reconsidered is that the video files are generally big files, and they accumulate over time, so it is not unreasonable to think that people might need to move their folders to new drives, or shuffle their video folders around to create more space for downloads.

The other important issue is that, the download paths seem to change in the database as the option for the download is changed in the config file which can make a hell of a hard nut to crack when trying to reorganize videos.

thanks
