NZB files

2006-04-11 Internet

I’ve been looking for a way for ages on getting content down fast on to my Linux server, and the combination of a Giganews as my usenet server and my newly installed nzbperl scripts running mean I am getting there.

I have setup two folders on the linux box, one that is a watch folder, looking all the time for new NZB files, and another with the results of the files. Simply uploading an NZB file will result in nzbperl downloading all the binaries and decoding them. Placing the files in a directory ready to be manipulated.

Soon I will script up some automatic PAR2 and unrar’ing of the files, but at the moment this is just excellent.
