During the directory selection to make a download, it's possible that Hydra might show “Cannot download into this directory”.
This can occur due to the following reasons:
Your disk is full or the space left in disk is less than the size of the game you're trying to download
Your user does not have write permissions for the selected directory
How to solve?
In case you're seeing this message due to lack of write permissions, you can try to download into a different directory. Usually the “Downloads” folder from your user is the best place to download files from Hydra without further issues.
If the problem is due to disk space, you'll need to free up some space or rather use another storage device to download.
Hydra downloads depends on the write speed of the disk. Using a SSD instead of a HDD is preferred.
