They should only be able to read/write to your download and media directories anyway.
Yeah, I suppose I could have a specific directory for them to download to, then I move them to the directory which they play from, which is more restricted.
I thought one of the main benefits of those projects was that they can automatically download and replace versions with higher quality ones (if you have it configured that way). In that case, would I be able to have it look at my (restricted) directory which it doesn't have write perms for, but download to a different directory?
I don't think so, in my understanding it will try to overwrite the existing file. But I'm far from an expert, check the wiki they're bound to have a solution for you.
Thank you, I'll definitely check it out.
