Is there already an issue for your problem?

NZBGet Version

v24.3-testing

Platform

Windows

Environment

Win11

Current Behavior

When changing the destination for temp and intermediate files, these new paths only get used for newly added nzbs.

Expected Behavior

Changes should be reflected and used immediately for all nzbs in the queue, old and new.

Steps To Reproduce

Add nzb, set to pause. Change intermediate director to a new destination. Start downloading and watch nzbget putting intermediate files into the old path.

Bonus: delete nzb and re-add to queue via download again, now intermediate files will end up in the desired new directory.

This can be tricky in cases where files have been partially downloaded and then NZBGet will have to move all the downloaded files to a new directory. I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, partial downloads. Hm. I see these options, 1) after changing the path, move files to new destination 2) keep old paths for currently downloading jobs 3) restart ongoing downloads from zero
