What newsreader are Trisquel users using successfully, for nzb? I see Pan is available but have heard it is not an optimal solution. Anyone using SABnzbd, and if so where to get it and how to install? Thanks, I am brand new . . .
Have you looked at thunderbird for usenet?
If you don't mind command line then nzbget is decent.
Hi thomasmilo!
Yes, Sabnzbd would not be allowed in the Trisquel repositories as it requires the non-free unrar. Fortunately, this is easy to overcome. If you install python-cheetah, unar and par2 from the Trisquel repositories then you can run Sabnzbd from the python source files available from their main site. You just need to make sure that the file Sabnzbd.py is execuatble (right-click, and check the appropriate box).
Par2 autocheck should still work and rar files can be unpacked via command line - cd to the folder containg the archives and use the command: unar [filename][extension]. If it's a mulitpart archive you only need to enter the first filename/extension as unarchiver will automatically find the rest.
