Resizing with GParted took waaaaay too long, and using ext2fsd plugin caused all sorts of file and folder permission issues.

Thanks for the tip. This was explaining the permission errors I was facing with Sickbeard and NZBget. If others are also facing permissions errors don't use Ext2Fsd as I suggested earlier.

For me the following steps were the solutions to solve the permission errors and get the download package to work:
- backup data to windows computer (for me NTFS)
- format external HDD to EXT4, using Gparted live cd (probably you could also directly use Puppy linux, this includes Gparted)
- copy the data from NTFS (in my case) to EXT4 using the puppy linux live cd
- change the permissions for external HDD as koenkk described here: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/248

Code:

sudo chmod -R 777 /media/*
sudo chown -R xbian:xbian /media/*

And now it's working! Thanks for the great package. Looking forward to also try the Flexget package zilexa is creating.
