Hi there,

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and I am looking for a program to download nzb

there another application that works better?

I hope that someone can help me.


I'm using lottanzb which is a nice gtk frontend to hellanzb. Heaps easy 
to setup and is in the ubuntu repos:


http://www.lottanzb.org/

For when I want to dowload from the command line, I use nzbperl

Depends on how complex you want your setup (which is probably in correlation to 
how often you grabs things using NZB files).

From a less-frequent use case, I use the text-based tool nzbget 
(http://nzbget.sourceforge.net/).
For a GUI application, I believe Pan (http://pan.rebelbase.com/) is supporting 
NZB files nowadays.

Sounds like a hellanzb configuration problem. I have installed it on
multiple machines running 9.10 and it works great.

Hi,

Try sabnzbdplus. It has a web interface, so it runs in the background, 
but it works really well.
