SABnzbd is an open-source cross-platform binary newsreader.
It simplifies the process of downloading from Usenet dramatically,
thanks to its friendly web-based user interface and advanced
built-in post-processing options that automatically verify, repair,
extract and clean up posts downloaded from Usenet.
SABnzbd also has a fully customizable user interface,
and offers a complete API for third-party applications to hook into.

There is an extensive Wiki on the use of SABnzbd.
