From f5faead24aa476074fd26b9eaacb145d28c773ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artur Klesun Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2021 17:29:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Clear confusion about `Download directory` vs blobfiles in lbry-directories.md (#1375) See https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/3891 Me, and I believe many other people mistakenly assumed the `Download directory` in the settings to be the place where seeded content is stored. There are some tickets of people getting surprised after getting notification about no space left on system disk despite them specifying this directory to be on a different volume. After adding this note I hope it will become easier for people to understand what are the steps to seed properly and not worry about their system disk getting clogged. Feedback and corrections to the message are also welcome. --- content/faq/lbry-directories.md | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/content/faq/lbry-directories.md b/content/faq/lbry-directories.md index bd351e1d..fbbf96a3 100644 --- a/content/faq/lbry-directories.md +++ b/content/faq/lbry-directories.md @@ -35,3 +35,7 @@ Depending on which OS and wallet you use, LBRY files may be stored in several pl *Use file manager to navigate to the path below* - `Internal storage/android/data/io.lbry.browser/files/lbrynet` - Daemon configuration, logs, encrypted blob files - `Internal storage/android/data/io.lbry.browser/files/lbryum` - Wallet and blockchain data + +_____________________________ + +Note: do not confuse blobfiles with `Download directory` that you define in app settings.
