SABnzbd is used through a Web interface.
You can allow it to communicate with other PC's within your home network
(by letting it use the PC's IP address instead of "localhost" and telling your
software firewall to allow SABnzbd to listen to other PCs).
It's also possible to make it accessible on the Internet.
This is a bit tricky and potentially insecure and requires a special setup in your router.
Generally, solutions lke logmein are safer.
