Hi all,
I have recently discovered the wonders of usenet and wanted to make my DNS323 (which currently has MLDonkey) become a usenet box as well. I searched a bit online and found people were using NBZGet with the box... so I got it all installed and it seems I got the server up and running where it is waiting for downloads to queue. When I log onto the main page of the nbzget interface it has no option to search for anything - just upload the NBZ file. I've also found out that there is a NBZGet client I can get to interface with the server.
This is where I am very confused so here are my questions:
1. how does this client work? is it installed on the DNS as well or on a separate computer (i.e. one of my windows machines)?
2. whether it is installed on the DNS or on a windows machine - does someone have some nice instructions i can follow?
3. can i use a third part client on my windows machine (such as GrabIt) to communicate with the NBZGet server and tell it to download stuff on demand?
4. if the above question is "AYE" - how can I do this and which is the best client to use?
Thanks a lot for an help that can be provided =]

1. installed on DNS
3. No I didn't find yet (as sancho or transmission gui).
You need to find a website where you can request and download .nzb files in /mnt/HD_a2/nzb or upload the .nzb file thanks to the web interface.
Best regards.

nzbget is the usenet download client,
nzbgetweb is the webinterface for it.
you need most of time a usenet server acccount to connect to you have to configure this in nzbget.conf
what kind of instructions do you need? You download from binsearch.info a nzb, put that nzb in the nzb folder which has been configured in nzbget.conf than the device will auto-download the content from the usenet server
if you run nzbget with nzbgetweb than there is no need for grabit anymore.
I made some howto's for nzbget+nzbgetweb+unpak

I already have a usenet account and am familiar with the concept of searching for nzb's from whatever sites that let you do it, then using a nzbget to download the file.
What I was more interested is to see an all-in-one solution such as NewsLeech or Grabit that can work on the DNS, allow you to search for NZBs and then queue them for download in a single interface.

nzbget has ability for newzbin
and I use myself a tool called tv nzb reader which auto-downloads special nzb's from tv series and put them in my nzb folder
than auto download ..

I guess I should explain what I want a bit more clearly -
I knwo that NZBget has the ability for newzbin - it did ask for my username and password for of my usenet account - how else will it be able to download? I also saw in the configuration page that there is an option to configure a client as the server listens on port 6789 which I assume is some sort of a link to tell the server to acquire an nzb file from a certain link (please correct me if I am wrong).
I could not find any location in the nzbget user interface page to search for nzb's so I guess it does not have that feature (again, please correct me if I am wrong); so I am looking for an application, like TV NZB for example, that can search EVERYTHING and dump the NZB in the proper folder...

It is because you can launch several instances of nzbget at the same time:
- one instance as deamon "nzbget -c config_file -D" ... it will act as a server, because it will accept requests from the client (see below)
- one instance as client "nzbget -c config_file -C ". The client can be started on the same device (the NAS), or another computer (Linux or Windows, because a Windows version of nzbget exists). The nzbget client connects to the previous deamon started on the NAS. From the client, you can monitor your downloads, and (I think) also add new nzb files to download
And you can also add an nzb file with "nzbget -c config_file -A file". The file will be added to the previous deamon download list.

About an "all I one solution" (search + download), I think somebody has already done a bash script for that. You should search on the forum.
