SABnzbd Windows Tutorial

SABnzbd Newsreader for Windows

SABnzbd makes Usenet as simple as possible by automating everything it can. Add an NZB file and SABnzbd downloads, verifies, repairs, extracts, and files it away with zero human interaction.

SABnzbd runs in the background and its main interface opens in your local web browser. It works with NZB files. Import one and SABnzbd connects to Usenet, downloads all the required parts, verifies them, and combines them into the completed file.
