Ok, so i've got myNZB on my iphone and i have a giga news account.

So i enter my details in the server part and i should be good to go right?

Where do I begin :(

Where do you run SABznbd on?
Do you expect your iPhone to connect over Wifi or 3G?
If 3G, did you set up port-forwarding.
Do you use Safari on the iPhone or a special App?

NZB cannot be gotten from Giganews, but from search engines.

Ok.

Downloaded the app myNZB from the iphone app store.

I assumed it would allow me to connect to my nzb provider and download.

Does this iphone app not do this? have i misunderstood its purpose?

My iphone connects via both wifi and 3g.

I understand i can get NZB's from search sites (like nzbsrus) however i assumed i could enter the "server" information and it would allow me to download.

Do you not require the "giganews" newsgroup service in order to be able to download? as i would my pc?

I would have thought some newsgroup service was required?

Is there a manual for the myNZB app? that might help.

Tried one of the threads (with refs to manuals) but links didnt work.

If your questions are about myNZB: that app is not developed, sold or supported by the SABnzbd team.
Don't expect us to support commercial apps.

We will answer specific questions about how to expose SABnzbd's interface
to your LAN or even public internet,
