Newz leeching

First find the stuff you want with FTD4Linux . You have to register (free) to get access to it's database of new posts in the various newsgroups.

Clicking on an interesting post will show a tiny NZB mark in the upper right corner. This will let you search the various usenet search engines: binsearch, yabse, newzleech, eweka. Of course you can start there in the first place, but then you won't know of the most recent posts as announced on FTD...

After finding what you want get an NZB file and save it in the download queue of your preferred NZB-leecher.

You can find a list of NZB applications on binaries4all. I tried Ninan, which has a nice built-in web-interface. It's Java based. Recently I changed to hellanzb, which is python. No web-interface, just running in the background, waiting for an NZB to be dropped in it's queue directory. You can by the way make a symbolic link to your default download directory. It's supposed to just pick the NZB files from there and copy them to the working directory.

All the programs listed at binaries4all do the hard work for you: downloading, unrarring, par2 checking (some of them only downloading the par2 file they need..) and then moving completed jobs to a directory of your liking.

Have fun
