DAVID.WARCHILD  Should be aware this does not sync. It replaced all my contacts so I only have the gmail contacts left in my address book. Pretty nasty.

DAVID.WARCHILD  I like the idea of this but have some issues. It appears to ignore the .conf file forcing authentication manually. The way it handles .nzb files is a nightmare, especially when you get the .nzb file from newzbin. Having to first have it check the correct group instead of getting it from the nzb, and even prior to that having to dl the newsgroup headers, seems to go against the idea of nzb and your stated intents.

A worthwhile efforrt though. I hope for more development.
