NZBGet is a command-line based binary newsgrabber for nzb files, written in C++. It supports client/server mode, automatic par-check/-repair and web-interface (via additional package). NZBGet requires low system resources and runs great on routers and NAS-devices.

NZBGet can be used in standalone and in server/client modes. In standalone mode you pass a nzb-file as parameter in command-line, NZBGet downloads listed files and then exits. In server/client mode NZBGet runs as server in background. Then you use client to send requests to server. The sample requests are: download nzb-file, list files in queue, etc.

Standalone-tool, server and client are all contained in only one executable file "nzbget". The mode in which the program works depends on command-line parameters passed to the program.

Once installed you need to add the configuration file (attached)

Put the configuration file in one of these locations and rename to nzbget.conf:

# /etc/nzbget.conf
# /usr/etc/nzbget.conf
# /usr/local/etc/nzbget.conf
# /opt/etc/nzbget.conf

Open it up in a text editor and edit this file to add your newsserver details ie server/login/password/connections.

In the file you can choose the path for the files, by default they will create them in your $Home directory; you can move them outside of this location and make symlinks back - especially usefully if your OS is on a flash drive.

Basic usage:

Open terminal and type:

nzbget -s

this starts it up in 'server' mode

Now you can add your NZB's directly into the newly created NZB folder in your $Home directory and it will search and add them within a timescale OR you can just add them directly to the server by typing in a new terminal window:

nzbget --a MY_DOWNLOAD.nzb

That's it!!

none.

If the above application requires additional libs, you may need GnuTLS, which can be found here:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77666

The libs are used for clients who need to use SSL when downloading.

nzbget 9.0-testing-r511



Changes since nzbget 9.0-r497

fixed: remote edit commands for group/post/history didn't work properly (bug introduced in r487);
fixed: the loading of configuration in web-interface failed if the program was started with parameter <-c> using relative path to config filename;
extended browser check for IE<9 with a tip about compatibility mode;
extended remote command <--append/-A> with optional parameters:

<T> - adds the file/URL to the top of queue;
<P> - pauses added files;
<C category-name> - sets category for added nzb-file/URL;
<N nzb-name> - sets nzb filename for added URL;
the old switches <--category/-K> and <--top/-T> are deprecated but still supported for compatibility

added new option <NzbAddedProcess> to setup a script called after a nzb-file is added to queue;
fixed: switching between tabs didn't work in IE10;
fixed: version number wasn't displayed in about dialog;
added debug messages for speed meter;
fixed: if the loading of settings tab were cancelled (by clicking on other tab) an error could appear;
made all command-line subcommands case insensitive (like it already was in <--edit/-E>-command) (example: <nzbget -L g> and <nzbget -L G> is the same);
renamed subcommand <K> of command <--edit/-E> to <C> (the old subcommand is still supported for compatibility);

NZBGet 9.0-r518

Changes since nzbget 9.0-r511

implemented function <Clear messages> in web-interface; added RPC-method <clearlog>;
improved the startup script <nzbgetd> so it can be directly used in </etc/init.d> without modifications;
fixed an issue on mobile safari where the click on time-label (which should bring the statistics dialog) was often registered as a click on speed-label (and showed the time limit dialog instead);
fixed: saving of file properties (priority or category) failed if a post-processing script having post-processing parameters were not used (bug introduced in r476);
