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:
- Open a terminal
- Install needed files:
Code:sudo apt-get install python-dev python-twisted unrar par2- Download hellanzb to your userdir:
http://www.hellanzb.com/distfiles/hellanzb-0.9.tar.gz- Unpack:
Code:sudo tar -xzvf hellanzb-0.9.tar.gz- Cd to directory:
Code:cd hellanzb-0.9- Run install script:
Code:python setup.py install- Copy config file:
Code:sudo cp /usr/etc/hellanzb.conf.sample /usr/etc/hellanzb.conf- Configure settings:
Look for: defineServer and change the account settings to your usenet account settings.Code:sudo gedit /usr/etc/hellanzb.conf.sample
Change the PREFIX dir to: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.Code:/home/your-user-name- Run the program:
Code:hellanzb.py- Download a NZB file and place it in:
or whatever directory you choose in the config file.Code:/home/your-user-dir/nzb/daemon.queue/- Finished files will be in:
or whatever directory you choose in the config file.Code:/home/your-user-dir/usenet/
Par2 files will only be downloaded from the server if needed for repair. This will save bandwidth
Happy NZB hunting
