Change temporary download location

Post by marcusclarcus »

Hi there,

I have my media location set to a HDD, however I feel it may be impacting my download speed. Is there any way to change the temporary download location to the SSD then when completed the media gets moved to the correct folder on my HDD? Using Sonarr/Radarr with SABnzbd

Thanks!

Hey @marcusclarcus!

Are you sure your hard drive is the bottleneck? I've always downloaded to hard drives without any issues, even at full network speed (over 60 MB/s). I think your network might actually be the bottleneck before your hard drive is.

You can do what you described by adding different volumes to your docker containers, but you’ll run into a few problems. For example, atomic moves and hardlinking won’t work. When Sonarr/Radarr move files from your HDD to your SSD, it’s going to be very slow and resource-intensive.

Cheers!
