And IIRC that person runs Arachne in two places, one in a RAMdrive and
the other apparently on a HDD, with the download directory in each case
within the respective Arachne home directories. He stated that he had to
run a batchfile to move the downloaded files to some other place in a
HDD partition.

I suggested that it would be wise to set the download directory in both
cases to G:\ARACHARD\DOWNLOAD, which IIRC was the final destination of
his downloaded files.

I have no idea whether or not he saw my message as he didn't respond.

Maybe he didn't want any solution but the one he asked for -- no, that's
probably unfair of me to think that.

I am still undecided as to whether I prefer it or not.

I agree MOST strongly!
