14.5 Using Usenet Client

NZBGet is a command-line based binary newsgrabber that downloads les from Usenet servers

based on information given in NZBles. NZBGet can be installed on the Popcorn Hour VTEN, as

part of NMT Apps, and the les can be downloaded directly to the local storage formatted in the

NMT Setup Wizard. 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 congure 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.
