    Lightbulb HOWTO: NZB, PAR and UNRAR all-in-one

    This is my first howto, and it is a small one

    I was looking for a way to process downloaded NZB files the most easiest way possible. That means downloading the NZB files to one directory, and let some program automatically download the binary posting, decode the files, check them with par2, repair if needed and then unrar the files and place the processed file in another directory.

    What needs to be done:
    1. Open a terminal
    2. Install needed files:
      Code:
      sudo apt-get install python-dev python-twisted unrar par2
    3. Download hellanzb to your userdir:
      http://www.hellanzb.com/distfiles/hellanzb-0.9.tar.gz
    4. Unpack:
      Code:
      sudo tar -xzvf hellanzb-0.9.tar.gz
    5. Cd to directory:
      Code:
      cd hellanzb-0.9
    6. Run install script:
      Code:
      python setup.py install
    7. Copy config file:
      Code:
      sudo cp /usr/etc/hellanzb.conf.sample /usr/etc/hellanzb.conf
    8. Configure settings:
      Code:
      sudo gedit /usr/etc/hellanzb.conf.sample
      Look for: defineServer and change the account settings to your usenet account settings.
      Change the PREFIX dir to:
      Code:
      /home/your-user-name
      You can change the other directories to your preference but it is not needed. There are also a lot of other options in the config file, change if needed.
    9. Run the program:
      Code:
      hellanzb.py
    10. Download a NZB file and place it in:
      Code:
      /home/your-user-dir/nzb/daemon.queue/
      or whatever directory you choose in the config file.
    11. Finished files will be in:
      Code:
      /home/your-user-dir/usenet/
      or whatever directory you choose in the config file.


    Par2 files will only be downloaded from the server if needed for repair. This will save bandwidth

    Happy NZB hunting

    Thanx. It is so useful I couldn't imagine. But I have two questions
    1. If I stop the execution of the file, do I have to reload the nzb. from the start?
    2. Can I edit the configuration file while it is running?

    1. Nzb's automatically resume when script is restarted.
    2. I think you can edit but you probably should restart script to reload configuration. Share your results plz.

    No prob just wanted my rig do the work for me, thought I'd share it with you all

    offtopic: But I am a syshopper.... I tend hop from xp to linux to osx and back. At the moment I am trying to sell my system to get the funds for a new macbook with core duo so I can run osx the right way and run ubuntu and XP in Parallels. This way I get the best of three worlds in one kickass notebook. Especcially when Xen is ready begin 2007. Pure virtualisation... running xp/osx/ubuntu next to eachother at the same time!!! Awesome!!!

    very excellent and simple method, much appreciated tutorial.

    (in step 5, remove the cd .tar.gz from the directory you are changing to)
