| Setting | Description |
|---|---|

| Copy finished torrents to | After a torrent completes, copy the downloaded data to this secondary folder (leave blank to disable). |
| Watched folder | Nebulae monitors this folder and automatically adds any .torrent files that appear in it (leave blank to disable). |
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto management mode | Automatically manage torrent locations according to category or save path rules |
| Do not start automatically | Add torrents in a paused state instead of starting them immediately |
| Show torrent content dialog | Always show the Add Torrent modal (file selection and options) even when adding via drag-and-drop or a watched folder |
| Append .neb extension | Append .neb to incomplete file names so they are clearly distinguishable from finished files |
| Preallocate disk space | Reserve the full space for a torrent's files immediately on disk, avoiding fragmentation during download |
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Run external program when a download finishes | Enable to run a script or application when a torrent completes |
| Command | The executable path and arguments to run. The torrent's save path is available as an environment variable. |
Tip
Post-processing commands are useful for triggering notifications, moving files, or calling a media server to scan new content. The command is called with the torrent's completion metadata.
