Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

I'm downloading with SABNzdb where I have several categories for severals purposes.
Folder, post processing, notifications are not the same depending on that.

When I configure a downloader, I must select a category and only one.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great to be able to select the category we want to use while pushing the file to the downloader

Describe alternatives you've considered

As an alternative, I made one client per category (a bit overkill) but when I select the downloader button in the result list, it takes the first one by default.
An alternative would be to have a dropdown list of downloaders compatible with this protocol and then settings up one per category.

Anything else?

In the end, both ways can have pro and cons, then I would ultimately suggests to:

Be able to list more than one category for the downloader
If there is more than one compatible downloader for that file protocol, display a dropdown list next to the download button
If there is more than one category configured for that downloader, display a dropdown list next to the download button

Cheers
