I want to download articles that are posted by a specific user in a group. How can I download using RSS? Here's a link to articles I want to download.

I think you can't: the RSS feed http://rss.binsearch.net/rss.php?max=50 ... inaries.nl only contains the name of the post, not of the poster (which you want).

EDIT:

Correction: http://rss.binsearch.net/rss.php?max=50 ... inaries.nl does contain the Poster "Royanand@Post.com" in the *description*. My *hypothesis* is that SAB only checks the title, and not the description ...

NZBIndex's advanced search includes a field for 'poster'. All search parameters can be included in an rss feed.

So sabnzbd tried to download a new article that was posted last night but it failed since it wasnt completely uploaded when it checked for the feed I guess. Any way for it to check if the article is complete b4 it starts to download?

I use WakeupOnStandby to bring my PC out of hibernation at 5.30am (UK timings) each morning. Overnight posts are generally present and correct by then. A little synchronisation with SABNZB's scheduler gets the job done.
