FYI; Hellanzb as downloader
Posted: January 9th, 2012, 1:19 am
FYI & FWIW:
If SABnzbd fails a download, and you want to make sure the problem is not sab, you could try another NZB download program. I've once used nzbget, which works but is 'spartanic'. I now found hellanzb: hellanzb is command-line NZB-downloader for Linux, including rar/par. Edit /etc/hellanzb.conf, and run it. Hellanzb has no GUI: You add NZB's by dropping them into a certain directory (see the conf file). There's is separate GUI program, called ... hellagui
hellanzb is in the Ubuntu repository.
hellagui is not; I downloaded it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hellagui/
Warning: hellanzb has not been updated since 2007. And it does not support IPv6 newsservers.
Finally: another program called lottanzb on Ubuntu is just a frontend to SABnzbd, which does not work for me
