Sabnzbd for Ubuntu!

If you haven’t heard of SABnzbd it is a open source news client for grabbing Usenet posts. It can be ran completely automated in downloading and processing. SABnzbd is written in Python.

I use SABnzbd in association with Newshosting as my host since typical ISP’s retention is 30 days or less (Newshosting provides 1000+ days) and won’t carry the type of data you want.

Installing SABnzbd:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

sudo vi /etc/default/sabnzbdplus

user=YOURUSERNAME
host=0.0.0.0
port=8080

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus
sudo /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start

Open your web browser and go to “http://YOURSERVERIP:8080″ and configure it how you wish
