I configured my MacBook and Windows PC to mount the shared watch folder on startup. As with all folders, the watch folder can be shared over the network for added functionality. SABnzbd can monitor a given folder every few seconds for new NZB files and once detected, they are added to the cue.
When working with multiple NZB files, it can be a pain to upload them all separately to SABnzbd. I’d like to highlight one very simple but much used feature, the watch folder. It also allows access to its API’s in order to communicate with other programs like Sickbeard, Couch Potato and the likes. Free, fast, skinnable, open source and very feature rich.

But it looks like crap! Now having the advantage of a full fledged PC, I could pick whatever I want, but it was a no-brainer: SABnzbd. Despite of the Popcorn’s limited processor and memory, it always maxed out my ISP’s download speed. Multiple servers, watch folder, par check and unrar. NZBGet is a lightweight package with a pretty complete feature set. My old PopcornHour C200 used NZBGet as its out-of-the-box usenet client.
I prefer usenet downloading over all other forms. I had to at least match this with my new setup.
Downloaded, PAR checked, unrarred and already residing on the main media hard drive. Upload your NZB’s or torrents and forget all about it. One thing I loved about my previous networked media tank was its ability to function as an allround hassle free downloader. This article is part of larger collection on various subjects about the installation of my Mac Mini as a mediacenter to replace my PopcornHour C200 and Plex server PC.
