Merlin's Portal integration

Any chance we could get merlin's portal integrated in the same way that newzbin is? (ie. fetching nzb's by report id, automatically giving them the name from the report, putting all nzb's from a category into their own folder.)

Unlike Newzbin, Merlin's Portal doesn't have an official API (= Application Program Interface).
The only alternative is to revert to screen-scraping, which we will not do because:
1) We would have to change SABnzbd each time the Merlin's Portal website changes
2) It's probably against their user policy (and may get your account banned).
RSS feeds should work fine.
You could ask Merlin's Portal to implement an API.
