SABnzbd Forums

I'm coming to Sabnzb+ from NZBGet, and I was using Leechr script quite successfully.

I've not been able to find much information on here regarding Leechr, but this is the way I've got it running.

Install Python.
extract the Leechr.zip to a folder of your choice.
rename example.conf to leechr.conf
edit to include your "MyEpisodes" details

Paths.

I had to set the paths like this :

d:/downloads/nzb  -  to get it to download to Sabnzb's watch folder.

Now the bit I'm not sure about.  In NZBGet, you could run scheduled tasks.  I had it running hourly checking for newly released TV Episodes, but I couldn't find a way of doing this on Sab, so I did it like this.

I created a scheduled task through Windows to run the python script hourly.

Is there a better way of doing this, or is this OK?

Sorry, don't know anything about Leechr.

SABnzbd has a scheduler, but it's not designed to run external tasks.
Your OS solution should work fine.
Apparently SABnzbd only needs to watch the "watched folder".
So I assume you let the Windows Scheduler run Leechr.

I confirm this; just configure leechr to save it's downloaded NZB's inside the same 'watch' folder of SABnzbd. Then use the Windows scheduler to run your leechr script.

The same counts also for Linux users (as myself).
