Newsscraper

I wrote a php script that started as an ongoing hack and evolved for about a year into a full featured app. The entire point is to spend as little time as possible using newzbin. Here are some features.
- one click queuing of files in sabnzbd/ninan
- mouseover viewing of posting date/imdb info/nfo/previous downloads/other stuff
- keeps track of downloaded stuff so you can tell quickly if already downloaded
- searching newzbin/binsearch.info
- it also scrapes other nzb/torrents sites on demand (in my defense the torrent sites were a request )
- scrapes tvrage and displays upcoming shows
- and the best feature, one click moving everything from the downloaded dir to a specific per show/movie/etc dir (for use with mythtv/etc)
- other stuff...
This is not for people without some PHP/Linux experience and it probably won't work on OSuX/Winblowz. I plus a few other people have been running this for about a year and it's pretty solid. I'm going to have to make a few additions/lingering fixes and some docs before posting so I want to know if people are interested before doing the work.
Attached some simple samples of what it does.
