Sentinal8473 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi guys, just wanting your advice. I haked my old xbox and blasted xebian on to it, i want to use that for my newsgroup activities. I am looking for a newsgroup app that supports nzb files and as a possable extra to include a web interface for it... any ideas folks ??

cooper Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 For generic newsreading I liked using PAN. They claim NZB support, but back when I was using it this didn't work particularly well. Of course, that's over a year ago. It doesn't help that this project releases INCREDIBLY slowly, so I'm not sure it's a good idea to recommend them still. Regardless, here's the URL: http://pan.rebelbase.com/ Another app that people appear to like is KLibido: http://klibido.sourceforge.net/ The NZB processing is a bit weak on Linux in my experience. Back in the day I used NZBGET (http://nzbget.sourceforge.net/) but the prog's bitchy about the nzb's format and I've been told that on modern machines it takes some effort to compile. There's a program called NZBPOWER which is a QT4 app: http://www.nzbpower.org The one that seems to get the most praise is HellaNZB http://www.hellanzb.com/trac/. The last program I'd like to point your attention to is NNTPGrab: http://www.nntpgrab.nl. I'm pretty sure some of those progs will tickle your fancy.
