## What it is
NzbDav is a self-hosted WebDAV server that mounts NZB documents as a virtual file system, allowing streaming directly from Usenet providers without downloading. It exposes a SABnzbd-compatible API so tools like Sonarr and Radarr can integrate with it as a drop-in replacement.

## Use cases
- stream movies and tv shows directly from usenet without downloading
- build an infinite plex or jellyfin library with no local storage
- replace sabnzbd as a download client for sonarr and radarr
- mount nzb files as a virtual filesystem over webdav
- stream content inside rar and 7z archives including password-protected ones
- automatically repair media removed from usenet providers

## When to choose
- you want usenet streaming without using local disk space
- you already use sonarr/radarr and want a sabnzbd drop-in replacement
- you need to stream or seek inside rar/7z archives over webdav

## When to avoid
- you need to actually download and keep usenet content locally
- you don't have a usenet provider subscription
- you need a fully mature production-grade downloader rather than a streaming-focused tool

## Facets
- artifact type: service
