Info

Pick one path layout and use it for all of them.

It doesn't matter if you prefer to use `/data`, `/shared`, `/storage` or whatever.

The screenshots in the examples are using the following root path `/data`

1. Click on the left under categories with your left mouse button.
2. Click on `Add category`

1. Enter your category.
2. Enter your save path subfolder (keep it simple and recognizable)

## Paths and Categories Breakdown

## Downloads do not go into the category folder

Downloads do not go into the category folder

When your downloads ends up in `/data/torrents/` and not in `/data/torrents/{tv|movies|music}` then you probably forgot to change `Default Torrent Management Mode:` to `Automatic`
