Title: Dumb question - adding nzb to download queue from RSS feed
Post by: ufarkia on March 15, 2009, 07:24:27 am

If I'm looking at the RSS list and I see a show I'd like to download, I know I can right click on the nzb and choose "add to queue"...but when I do this, AltBinz then just downloads the nzb.  Is there a way to open the nzb directly or have it being to download the file without having to go through the process of opening the nzb?

Thanks

I'm not clear, are you saying that Alt.Binz isn't adding the NZBs to the queue when you choose Add to Queue from the RSS tab? It should do without having to import manually ...

Think he means a .nzb is added to queue, resulting in him having to import that downloaded .nzb manually. This is probably related to the feed he's using.

Oh, I see, so you're retrieving NZBs that contain an NZB that lists the actual files wanted?  If so, then no - obviously you have to download the NZB-within-NZB from usenet first, which defeats the purpose of using a feed somewhat.  Find a better one ;)

I wouldn't recommend making your autoimport folder and download folder the same, in case that's what you're thinking ...

What feed would you recommend?  I'm using Binsearch.net right now.

(Mystic2010 - thanks for clarifying my question)

You can use Binsearch, but don't just search for .nzb.  Select all of the posts that refer to a release - also toggle 'Release name' on the RSS tab, and Setup -> NZB -> 'Merge collections with same name on import'.

Thanks - just made the changes you suggested.
