NZBGet (usenet)

NZBGet is a much lighter than SABnzbd binary newsgrabber, which is perfect to use on our media players. In older releases you had to install additional package (NZBGetWeb) to manage it using web interface. Since version 9.0 it has build-in webclient (just like it has be done in Transmission). Moreover, it's project maintainer started to release statically compiled binaries for MIPSel devices, so it works without installing Optware/Entware.

Installation

1. Get the latest testing or stable version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/nzbget/files/. Make sure you download -bin-mipsel-static.tar.gz version (for MIPSel architecture) and copy it to your hard disk.
2. Extract the package (for example in /opt):

gunzip nzbget-version-xxx.tar.gz
tar xvf nzbget-version-xxx.tar

3. If you have Optware installed, you can copy original configuration file to default Optware path (no need to use -c parameter each time):

cp /opt/usr/share/nzbget/nzbget.conf /opt/etc/

Configuration

We should change default NZBGet settings before using it. In file /opt/etc/nzbget.conf:

Change main path from:

MainDir=~/download

to:

MainDir=/opt/nzbget

Change path to web interface:

WebDir=/usr/share/nzbget/webui

to:

WebDir=/opt/usr/share/nzbget/webui

Server configuration can be done by editing this file or you can use web interface.

Now you can start-up nzbget-server:

/opt/usr/bin/nzbget -D
