NZBGet [NZBGet-HTPC]_
======================

.. include:: ../../donotuse.rst

NZBGet is a downloading program specifically for downloading from [Usenet-Servers]_. They are inherintely more secure and are, in general, much quicker to download than torrents.

UnRar
-----

First, install `UnRAR <https://www.rarlab.com/>`_. This is specifically for handingling what are called ``.rar`` files. Those mysterious crazy files that you randomly come across on the internets.

Rar files are usually large files, taken apart into seperate items, along with a couple extra, documentation files for how they should be pieced back together again. ``unrar`` handles these guys along with NZBGet.

.. code-block:: bash

  sudo apt-get install unrar

NZBGet Installation
--------------------

NZBGet Is installed... a bit different than other, apt-based applications.

[NZBGet-GitHub]_ is nice enough to provide us shell scripts that take care of a lot of installation steps. Though, if you're like me, you might, at LEAST, want to look over what this script does first.

But, if you want the installation command, thats:

.. code-block:: bash

  wget -O - http://nzbget.net/info/nzbget-version-linux.json | \
  sed -n "s/^.*stable-download.*: \"\(.*\)\".*/\1/p" | \
  wget --no-check-certificate -i - -O nzbget-latest-bin-linux.run

.. note::

  Check out :ref:`using-forwardslash` for some breakdown as above.

Sadly, a lot of times this command doesn't always work out, and its almost never a "one-size-fits-all" scenario on why. The best first step is to look at [NZBGet-GitHub]_ to see what they say, and if anyone else has had the same issues.
