HellaNZB

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.
