Using The Usenet Client - POPCORN HOUR a500 User Manual

Other settings are available through the web GUI such as the Scheduler which can be
used to schedule torrent downloads and set their upload/download limits.
IMPORTANT: The Popcorn Hour A-500 has to be switched ON and properly connected
to the internet during the scheduled download time in order for the BitTorrent client to
download the required files.
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 A-500, as part of NMT Apps, and the files can be downloaded directly to the local
storage. To use the NZBGet client go into the NMT Applications section of the Setup
menu and start the Usenet 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-server.
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.
