Dont put download folder on external drive

Maybe you could add a line in the README.MD to help others from running into this problem. If the download folder is on an external drive nzbget will not be able to unpack files that are larger than somewhere around 4-5 GB in size. I know its a problem more related to nzbget and external drives, but it might help others who are not aware using this great setup. Thanks for everything, it works GREAT! :D

I think it's because your hard drive is in FAT wich limits the size of your file to 4GB ;)

You are probably right. I dont use it anymore, but the info could be helpful for anyone else having issues. Thanks! :)
