14.5 Using Usenet Client

NZBGet is a command-line based binary newsgrabber that downloads files from Usenet servers based

on information given in NZB files. NZBGet can be installed on the Popcorn Hour C-300 and the files

can be downloaded directly to the local storage formatted in the NMT Setup Wizard. To use the NZB-

Get client go into the NMT Applications section of the Setup menu and start the service. Please note

that the service will remain on, even after a power cycle, until you go back and stop it.

To run the NZBGet application you need access to a Usenet provider. Your internet service provider

may have a news server that you can access, or you can have a separate Usenet account on a pay-serv-

er.
Once you have a Usenet account, you can configure NZBGet on your NMT to access the account.

Your Usenet provider will provide you with the information required, such as:

1. User ID and Password.

2. News-server name and port to connect (usually at port 119).

3. Number of concurrent connections allowed.
