DESCRIPTION
SABnzbdPlus is a web-interface based binary newsgrabber written in python, with nzb file support.

SABnzbdPlus is a free news client with many abilities, such as:

  • Download files from your newshost
  • Access the news client from any internet connection. Connect from work, school, wherever and tell SABnzbd to download. Your downloads are ready when you get home.
  • No more repairing or unpacking. SABnzbdPlus handles the dirty work for you. You tell it what to download and when it is done, SABnzbdPlus will repair the download, unpack it, and clean up the mess. Leaving you with nothing but the files you wanted.
  • Full nzb support

This is the OS X build - everything packed in one convenient universal application. Just download, point, click and run. Almost no configuration required.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.4.12:

Bugs solved:

  • Update unrar for Windows to 3.90 (solves CRC errors when unpacking)
  • Don’t show NZB-s no longer present in the RSS feed in the preview (they won’t be matched anyway)
  • Default skin: Hitting enter after changing the RSS definition would delete the definition.
  • Send Group did not always work properly

Features:

  • Add Cheetah 2.2 compatibility (primarily for Linux)
  • Add field to API-qstatus XML output.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

CHAS0001  I have been using Unision for downloading Usenet content and have been very happy with it. Recently I thought I would try SABNZBD and I am extremely impressed with the features. The web interface is very slick and it means that I can access the SABNZBD server from any computer on my network. Great product....Keep up the good work!

BALANCHINE  A fast and full-featured NZB-based Usenet client. It's a different concept from other Usenet apps (it works in the background and you configure it through a browser interface) but once you get the hang of it, it makes perfect sense.

Note to developer: Thanks for making the latest build 10.4 compatible. (I got a bit worried when I found that the previous release was 10.5 only).

RATTUS  Incredibly cool. Set it up to use your Usenet provider of choice (I love Internode) and grab .nzb files from www.binsearch.info - couldn't be easier.

You don't even need a separate program for verifying .par2 files and joining/unpacking .rar files. It does it all for you. Set and forget.

This is so great (and free), that its replaced Unsion and UnrarX on my computer for binary downloading.

E_COMMERCE  ARGH. The browser auto-launch "feature" is driving me nuts. Because of that little chestnut, I can't use this as a login item any longer, since it will throw up a browser window. I just want it quietly running in the background as a daemon, no app, as God (and Apple) intended. Include a link along with the package for people to open the web interface themselves.

TRONDAH  Try hellanzb, the best news client available. It will download, par verify, unrar/unzip and sort for you. GUI's and web servers are available for it as well.

B4TM4N  Change the browser setting in your SABnzbd.ini file from browser=1 to browser-0.

You should find the ini file here,

/Users/YOURUSERNAME/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

E_COMMERCE  Works extremely well, automating the use of NZB's to download files from Usenet. A few comments:

- As this program has no GUI, it would be much better distributed as a StartupItem or LaunchDaemon, rather than as an application with a Dock icon with no way to quit.

- If there is some odd reason it must remain as an application, please add the "LSUIElement" key to the Info.plist. This will keep it from adding a Dock icon, but may be confusing as there is no feedback the program is running.

Looking towards the future, a GUI would be good to add, especially a "first-run" wizard that could set the server and directory settings, rather than using the (admittedly excellent) web-based configuration interface.

SCHOSCHIE  It launches, but then nothing happens for a couple of minutes. I quit. :(

SWGS1  this looks like exactly what I wanted! The SABNZBd install instructions were a bit confusing and there were a few dependencies that I had trouble getting to install without error. So a prepared binary for sabnzbd is a very wonderful thing.

I look forward to using this at length.
