hellanzb project is a Python application designed for *nix environments that retrieves nzb files and fully processes them.

The goal being to make getting files from Usenet as hands-free as possible. Once fully installed, all thats required is moving an nzb file to the queue directory. The rest; fetching, par-checking, un-raring, etc. is taken care of by hellanzb.

hellanzb also will send notices of when it has completed a file or encountered an error via Growl

Requirements:
twisted -- twisted (the networking stack hellanzb runs on top of)

You will want the command line (CLI) versions of the following:

rar (or unrar) -- rar extraction tool
par2cmdline -- par/par2 Parity checker

Optional

mac -- Monkey Audio decoding
flac -- Free Lossless Audio Codec decoding

What's New in This Release:
A smartpar feature that only downloads pars when necessary was added along with many other enhancements and bugfixes.
