download package setup

[Fred]

* Don't know what you mean by this exactly. I have made subfolders movies and tvshows inside the download folder and configured it such that couchpotato downloads to the movies folder (by setting a category for nzbget) and sickbeard to the tvshows folder. I have done this so that the renamers of couchpotato and sickbeard don't interfere (this can happen when a series name is the same as a movies name or vice versa). I also configured the renamers to move finished downloads to folders outside of the download folder, so I can easily remove left overs by just emptying the download folder every now and then.
* You can set it up to update library at start up, you can also configure couchpotato and sickbeard to communicate with xbmc when a download is finished and processed. You can also install this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:Watchdog or this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:XBMC_Library_Auto_Update.
* Just change the settings of couchpotato.
* Can depend on the speed of your newsserver. Also if your external harddisk has a ntfs filesystem it will be slow, you can tweak this a little bit by changing some mount options but the best thing to do is to format it as ext4.

Also use the forum search function and google.
