SABnzbd Portable

SABnzbd Portable is a Windows application whose purpose is to help you download and read news feeds which are used on Usenet for retrieving server posts.

This is the portable version of the program, which means it can be deployed on your system without having to go throughout the installation process. Plus, your Windows registry doesn’t get bloated with unnecessary entries.

You may copy the tool on any USB flash drive or other devices and take it with you whenever you need to download feeds on the breeze.

In order to be able to start the downloading process, you are required to set up several dedicated parameters. The application offers support for a wizard-like layout placed in your browser which offers step-by-step guidance throughout the entire configuration process.

You can provide details about host, port, username and password, enter the number of maximum connections that are allowed by your provider, and enable the SSL connection. You may test the server.

Other configurations settings help you make the application viewable to any PC on your network, password-protect the utility, and enable the HTTPS access to SABnzbd.

The program can be controlled from a web-driven interface where you can download files by searching for something you want to grab.

When it comes to importing options, you may add NZB files, make file associations, set a folder to be “watched” by SABnzbd Portable for downloaded NZB items, add RSS feeds, enter the URL of NZB file, or use third-party extensions (e.g. nzbdstatus, SABConnect++) for inserting files directly in the program’s queue.

Aside from downloading NZB files, the program offers some handy features which help you verify files, repair items (if necessary), unpack RAR files, move items to the correct folder, as well as make use of several post-processing options for executing user-defined scripts.

You may specify the maximum speed, set priorities, resume the downloading process for a custom time, and close the program, shut down the computer or activate the standby or hibernate mode at the end of a task.

You are allowed to set up web server parameters and specify the directory used for temporary downloads, watched folder, post-processing scripts folder, and directory with email templates.

You can launch your web browser automatically when starting the program, specify the maximum number of retries per server, delete duplicate downloads, join files, schedule tasks, send email notifications on job completion, as well as enable TV and movie sorting.

A reliable and efficient news feed downloader and reader

In conclusion, SABnzbd Portable helps you remotely control the application via a web interface and process RSS feeds from a variety of indexing sites.
