How do you go about using this option?

I have checked marked it but did not see any changes.

I see now it seem to store the file in /downloads

I would like to have it store my dishwasher service manuals in /dishwasher directory, refrigerator service manuals in /refrigerator directory and so on.

Is that how, "Enable multiple folders for downloads storage" is to be used?
If so how do I go about it?

Also in the downloads/ftp there is a placeholder.txt file.
Can it be deleted or what is it for.

When I go to my download config>ftp the placeholder.txt file is always check marked for when you go to click "Import Files" button.

I'm just wondering if it has to be there or what happens if I end up importing the placeholder.txt file with my other files I uploaded via ftp.

Thanks,

"Enable multiple folders for downloads storage" works differently that you expect. This setting will automatically create another another folder once files are added and then the next 1000 files will be placed in that folder. The folder names start at 0. First 1000 would go to 0 folder next 1000 to 1 etc.
This feature is mainly for people who have 1000's of download files and where performance/accessing one folder would take a while to do with many files.


placeholder.txt can be deleted it was a placeholder file used to create the ftp folder otherwise zip does not allow you to create a zip file if the folder is empty.

Oh, I understand what its for now, thanks!

I have been playing with download pro for hours tonight on SMF 1.1.9 trying a number of different things.

Download pro has been error and trouble free the whole time, it's awesome!

I think it's going to work great for what I have in mind for it, thanks!
