Hellanzb is a console based usenet binary downloader written in python. It can be used to automatically downloads nzb files placed in a user-specified watch directory, running in daemon mode, or through several GUI or PHP frontends are available.


Installing HellaNZB is possible by the following command

sudo apt-get install hellanzb unrar par2 python-yenc

After installation the configuration file needs to be adjusted. This can be done using an editing command.

sudo vi /etc/hellanzb.conf

In the configuration file change some info.

username = 'gn123456',
password = 'xyz1a2b3',
connections = 10,
defineServer(id = 'giganews',
hosts = [ 'news-europe.giganews.com:119' ],
Hellanzb.PREFIX_DIR = '/home/linuxmce/hellanzb/'
# Supply a path to the (un)rar command
Hellanzb.UNRAR_CMD = '/usr/bin/unrar'
# Supply a path to the par2 command
Hellanzb.PAR2_CMD = '/usr/bin/par2'
# Skip unraring during post processing
Hellanzb.SKIP_UNRAR = False

To start Hellanzb give the hellanzb command and place an NZB file in the watched directory

Trouble shooting

If you get the following message when starting HellaNZB then you do not have writing permit to the Hellanzb.PREFIX_DIR.
