Welcome to SABnzbd.org, the new home of SABnzbd+

SABnzbd+ is a multi-platform binary newsgroup downloader.

The program sits in the background and simplifies the downloading verifying and extracting of files from Usenet.
SABnzbd does not search for files, instead NZB files (similar to .torrent files, but for Usenet) are fed to SABnzbd from sites like newzbin.com binsearch.info and tvnzb.com
Access to SABnzbd+ is done through a web interface, meaning you can easily check and add files from other PC’s around the world or on other devices such as the iPhone.

What also sets SABnzbd apart is that it is Open Source (GPL2).
