So why not set up your download folder as a share on the Mac? That way your VM doesn't grow the more you d'load via Usenet.Used to have supersearch subscription in newsleecher, but now use newzbin for searching and then a single doubleclick on the nzb downloaded will open unison and download it....Pretty easy and at least doesn't keep my vmware file growing and growing....

Ah very simple, because I did not know you could do that! Thanks for the tip!
Speaking of large VM Disks/Files, I upgraded to VMWare Fusion 1.1RC1 and they've enabled "shrinking", which is cool for those times you've cleared your VM disk down but its still occupies a large amount of space on the host HDD... I ran it this morning and it shrunk my VM from 28Gb to 3Gb!!!
Parallels has had this feature for ages
Takes a while to run it mind you...
Also tried SABnzbd which uses your web browser as it's front end. Works okay, but just not as sexy as Newsleecher or as easy to use.
I love SABnzbd.
Me too, what a great app. Unison is great for browsing messages and pictures on a group, but for binary downloading it's SABnzbd all the way. There is even a GUI being developed now, early stages but it is promising.
I love SABnzbd.
Once it's all set up correctly it works a treat.
I can bookmark Newzbin files anywhere and Sabnzbd will automatically start downloading them at home, it is scheduled to work outside of Virgin's throttling times. Built in MacParDeluxe and Split&Concat. You can get it to ignore sample files, move your files into the correct folders - Movies, Music etc. You can set it to delete .nfo, .sfv etc. It'll monitor a folder for NZBs (say the Downloads folder). It'll rename your TV shows into program/series/episode no - episode title. It'll also email you if it's running out of HD space or if files have finished downloading.
And it's free.
sounds like newsleecher on steroids, minus the supersearch! Bearing in mind with nzbs.org I don't necessarily need the supersearch anymore, should I try this instead? what you have it doing sounds perfect- monitoring the downloads folder for NZBs, auto downloading (within a schedule), auto par/extract/move to destination.
Don't suppose it can directly monitor an RSS feed and grab NZBs out of it - like Sharp utils on PC?
Had a look at the website and it looks a bit complicated to setup. is it easier than it looks, or should I wait until there is a simpler front end to it?
