Thank you for the reference to sabnzbd+. I have been endlessly struggling with hellanzb (on ubuntu 9.10 amd64) locking up after each download.
I can confirm that this works great on 9.10. This program is far more advanced than hellanzb. Very nice.

Huh that was odd, my comment didn’t show up. Anywho I had to say that it’s nice to know that somebody else also touched on this as I had trouble finding the same information elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.

@joollajoo – You can get NZB files from a number of places. Many contain illegal content of course, but sites like tvnzb.com and nzbmatrix.com host nzb files. Nzbmatrix has some legal content such as linux images etc.

As far as the config file goes (/etc/hellanzb.conf), there is a line for changing where completed downloads are moved. It looks like this:

# Where the fully processed archives go
Hellanzb.DEST_DIR =

and you put the directory you want it to go after that in single quotes. your example would look like this:

Hellanzb.DEST_DIR = ‘/myname/mediafiles’

good luck, hope you get it worked out.

This looks great thank you. I might get to start using my account@giganews now. :-)

1: Learning linux and usenet i rough sailing. How can I make sure I have the correct filepath in the config file? (save files to /myname/mediafiles)

2:I need still a GREAT usenet client [Thunderbird is useless for me] that will work with ubuntu. I have used USENEXT before and that was easy. Is there a GUI usenet client I can use to search&find and get down the nzb files I need?
