# Hellanzb

Hellanzb is a console based usenet binary downloader written in python. It can be run in daemon mode and several GUI or PHP frontends are available.

Note: hellanzb is no longer under active development, although the last release (0.13) is considered stable by the developers and testing team.

## Main Features

- Automatically downloads nzb files placed in a user-specified watch directory.
- Par1/2 verification and repair of damaged files.
- Unrars completed downloads.
- Deletes unneeded files after a download has been completed.

## Installing

Hellanzb is available in the AUR package hellanzbAUR.

## Configuration

Hellanzb can be run in two modes:

- From CLI
- As daemon

##### hellanzb.conf

A configuration file named hellanzb.conf must be present in the users .config directory for hellanzb to function properly. A sample configuration file is available.

    mkdir -p ~/.config
    cp /etc/hellanzb.conf.sample ~/.config/hellanzb.conf

##### /etc/conf.d/hellanzb

When run in daemon mode, the /etc/conf.d/hellanzb file needs to be modified to configure the user that will be running hellanzb

    HELLANZB_USER="username"
    HELLANZB_CONF="/home/${HELLANZB_USER}/.config/hellanzb.conf"
