![]() ![]() I can now use the same watch folder on any system I like, while the Mac Mini is the one doing all the work.Īs I stated above, I like downloading via usenet. 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.

All the modern features are inside: minimizes download size, RSS, search, par2 repair, unzip, unrar, join, smart junk detection and so much more! For Mac App Store users: NZBVortex Cloud: help each other. Focused at ease of use and completeness but without the technical overhead. Simple and subtle user interface without losing functionality.
