💖 NZBGET 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about nzbget — your new fave binary news file grabber. yes it's a whole thing, yes it slays, and yes I'm gonna walk you through every single switch like we're studying for the exam together 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🌸 Usage:

nzbget [switches]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you give it switches, it does stuff. iconic 💅

🎀 Switches:

okay so here's the full menu, no skips, no cuts, we're doing all of them 💖

• -h, --help — prints this help-message. the "hey bestie what do I do" button 🌈
• -v, --version — prints the version and dips out. exit, stage left ✨
• -c, --configfile <file> — the filename of the configuration-file. tell it which config, bestie 💜
• -n, --noconfigfile — stops it from loading a configuration-file at all. heads up: if you do this, any required options must be passed with --option, no cap. you're on your own out here 🙈
• -p, --printconfig — prints the configuration and exits. a little mirror moment for your settings 🪞
• -o, --option <name=value> — set or override an option in the configuration-file. sneaky little override, we love her 💅
• -s, --server — starts nzbget as a server in console-mode 👑
• -D, --daemon — starts nzbget as a server in daemon-mode. background main character energy ✨
• -V, --serverversion — prints the server's version and exits 🔥
• -Q, --quit — shuts the server down. bye girl 💀
• -A, --append <nzb-file> — sends a file to the server's download queue 📥
• -C, --connect — attaches the client to the server. handshake, but make it cute 🫱
• -L, --list — [F|G|O|S|H] requests the list of downloads from the server. pick your flavour:
  • F — list individual files and server status (this is the default)
  • G — list groups (nzb-files) and server status
  • O — list post-processor-queue
  • H — list history
  • S — print only server status
• -P, --pause — [D|D2|O|S] pause the server. options are:
  • D — pause download queue (default)
  • D2 — pause download queue via second pause-register
  • O — pause post-processor queue
  • S — pause scan of incoming nzb-directory
• -U, --unpause [D|D2|O|S] — unpause the server. options are:
  • D — unpause download queue (default)
  • D2 — unpause download queue via second pause-register
  • O — unpause post-processor queue
  • S — unpause scan of incoming nzb-directory
• -R, --rate <speed> — sets the download rate on the server, in KB/s. slow it down, speed it up, be the boss of your bandwidth ⭐
• -T, --top — adds the file to the top (beginning) of the queue. meant to be used together with the switch --append 🥇
• -K, --category <name> — assigns a category to the nzb-file. also for using with the switch --append 🏷️
• -G, --log <lines> — requests the last <lines> lines from the server's screen-log 📜
• -W, --write <D|I|W|E|G> "Text" — sends text to the server's log ✍️
• -S, --scan — scans the incoming nzb-directory on the server 🔍
• -E, --edit [G|O|H] <action> <IDs> — edits items on the server. here's what the first bit means:
  • G — affect all files in the group (same nzb-file)
  • O — edit post-processor-queue
  • H — edit history

and <action> is one of:

• <+offset|-offset> — move file(s)/group(s)/post-job in queue relative to current position, offset is an integer value
• T — move file(s)/group(s)/post-job to top of queue
• B — move file(s)/group(s)/post-job to bottom of queue
• P — pause file(s)/group(s)/ Postprocess history-item(s) again
• U — resume (unpause) file(s)/group(s)
• A — pause all pars (for groups)
• R — pause extra pars (for groups)/ Return history-item(s) back to download queue
• D — delete file(s)/group(s)/post-job(s)/history-item(s)
• K <name> — set category (for groups)
• N <name> — rename (for groups)
• M — merge (for groups)
• O <name>=<value> — set post-process parameter (for groups)
• I <priority> — set priority (signed integer) for file(s)/group(s)

and finally:

• <IDs> — a comma-separated list of file-ids or ranges of file-ids, e. g.: 1-5,3,10-22

fr fr bestie, that's every single switch, every value, every default — nothing skipped, nothing glossed over. you're basically a nzbget expert now 💖
