For some reason Feedstation won't save podcasts to mapped or network drives. Is there anything I can do about this?

FeedStation will download to a network drive. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to download to your network drive. Some sysadmins restrict this type of thing.

Only partially true.

Using FeedStation 2.5 on both of my installs, mapped network drives are not listed in the browse dialog. However, if you type in the address manually it does work. A bug?

I see what you are saying now. I can browse the network just fine, but FeedStation does not see it as a mapped drive. I will put it in as a bug.

As a workaround though, try browsing the network.

Follow-up:

The "Browse for Folder" dialog isn't something we have written. It is built into Windows itself. We will continue to look for a resolution for this problem, but in the meantime we recommend using the workarounds mentioned in this thread.

1. Type in the path for the mapped drive.
2. Browse the network for the destination folder.
