Download SABnzbd 3.5.3 / 3.6.0 Beta 4 (Mac) Free

SABnzbd is a cross-platform, lightweight yet powerful binary newsreader that enables you to get data from Usenet and also helps you easily automate the download process.

Stay up-to-date with the latest news and stay connected with other users

SABnzbd comes with a web-based user interface, an API for third-party applications, and support for NZB files and RSS feeds. SABnzbd is designed to run in the background, and you can use it to simplify working with files from Usenet.

Usenet is a globally distributed Internet discussion system where users can read and post messages to one or more categories, called newsgroups.

Also, Usenet might be thought of as a hybrid of email and web forums, where discussions are threaded and posts are stored sequentially on a server.

SABnzbd uses NZB files, which are similar to .torrent files available from various usenet indexing services. SABnzbd’s advanced automation allows you to configure the application the way you want, you just need to send NZB to it and the file will appear on the other end.

Check out the list of plugins and use them to improve your workflow

As an added bonus, SABnzbd also supports various browser plugins such as nzbdStatus and SABConnect to easily handle NZB transfers from the web and quickly check your queue progress.

Also, if you’re new to Usenet and SABnzbd, you can get support and find handy plugins on SABnzbd’s home page.

In addition to that, SABnzbd can be installed on a server of your choice with a 24/7 network connection and make it work for you continuously. So you can schedule downloads and access SABnzbd remotely as easily as you do locally.

A low-key and automated Usenet newsreader for everyday use

By accessing SABnzbd’s status bar icons, you can check its status, view queue and history lists, limit speeds, and pause transfers. At the same time, you can easily configure SABnzbd, add NZB files and check your queue list from the web interface.

In a nutshell, SABnzbd is a powerful open-source Usenet downloader for multiple platforms from OS X to Windows, easily extensible with plugins, and easily controlled remotely via the built-in web UI.

Additionally, SABnzbd has been designed from the outset to automate all the stages required to download content from Usenet, extracting the NZB file from a folder of your choice, starting the download, verifying the downloaded file, and sending an email when the download is complete.
