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
- Click on the left under categories with your left mouse button.
- Click on
Add category
- Enter your category.
- Enter your save path subfolder (keep it simple and recognizable)
You don't need to add the full path under Save Path
, it will use the root download path that you setup in Options
=> Saving Management
=> Default Save Path:
.
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
