14.5 Using Usenet Client
NZBGet is a command-line based binary newsgrabber that downloads files from Usenet servers based
on information given in NZB files. NZBGet can be installed on the Popcorn Hour A-300 and the files
can be downloaded directly to the local storage formatted in the NMT Setup Wizard. To use the NZB-
Get client go into the NMT Applications section of the Setup menu and start the 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-serv-
er.
Once you have a Usenet account, you can configure 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.
