NZBGet is an efficient, lightweight Usenet binary downloader written in C++ that downloads files based on NZB files. It runs on almost any device including PCs, NAS devices, routers, and media players, with a web interface and cross-platform binaries.
Use cases
- download files from usenet using nzb files
- run a lightweight usenet downloader on a nas or router
- automate binary downloads from newsgroups
- efficient low-resource usenet client for embedded devices
- replace sabnzbd with a faster downloader
When to choose
- you need a fast, low-memory usenet downloader for weak hardware like routers or NAS
- you want a stable, mature downloader with web UI and scripting support
- you need binaries for many platforms including BSD and Android
When to avoid
- you need torrent downloading as well as usenet
- you prefer a modern actively developed codebase with frequent releases
- you want a GUI-first desktop application rather than a server-style tool
