What size HDD space do you need to run Newznab site and mysql db with 300 days of backfill on 12 groups? I am afraid that my hdd is too small. If it is, is there a way of adding an external Hdd that will be recognized where I can add the apps onto the external hdd? It obviously depends on the numbe...

Anyone have any info on how to set up Usenet Setting (newznab+), particularly how to change retention days. Everything you need should be found in the Edit Site section. You need to select Admin from the menu on the left if you are using the site as a user and then select Edit Site. In there you ha...

De5perate I'm having issues with my couch potato as well. Under Nzb providers I've put Host - http://localhost/ Api key - ?apikey=(then api key under my profile) Is this correct because mine isn't fetching any releases even the newest ones I have in my index. I am not sure exactly what you have ent...

Further progress - I haven't started backfilling yet - thought I would get all the dumped NZBs from Newznab into my collection first then fill in the gap. So that was a painful experience as every step seems to be. So I downloaded the torrents containing the zipped NZBs for a number of collections (...

you need to type the query message into the main chat window. This will then open another chat window providing instructions on what to do. Thanks very much - worked perfectly. I would warn people to be careful pasting their newznab ID into the chat window - if you get the code wrong then everyone ...

Next open this file in a text editor and then paste in the following code to replace the current contents (assuming your paths match mine. #!/bin/sh # call this script from within screen to get binaries, processes releases and # every half day get tv/theatre info and optimise the database set -e ex...

I had a another stab at the automated code and now feel a little foolish - I actually read the read me.txt file in the nix_scripts folder in the update_scripts folder. It states: Detailed instructions... cp newznab_screen.sh newznab_local.sh edit newznab_local.sh to specify paths to your installatio...

Thanks to all those who responded - I am glad to have helped. As for the automator - I am running it and it seems to work. I haven't had time to spend fiddling with it to get a version that I can visibly track. I hope it runs indefinitely repeating the process every 12 hours but I am not convinced. ...

I believe it is cleverer than that.

I added a single binary at first and tested with 1 day backfill and it downloaded a million headers or something - I repeated it after it had finished and it found another thousand or so.

I have updated to tidy up the original post including some pictures and the code in code boxes.

I am thrilled that some of you are finding it useful - as mentioned before if you spot any mistakes or improvements then let me know I shall update. As far as the automator is concerned I think it works, however until I have monitored it's progress over a couple of days I cannot be sure. This is wha...

This is my guide to installing Newznab on a Mac running OS-X 10.8.2 – Mountain Lion. There were pictures included but it was far too time consuming to try to include them here. Now I am a complete noob to all this – I don’t know what php does or Apache, I know mysql is a database but that is my limi...
