The SABnzbd application was designed to be an open-source cross-platform binary newsreader written in Python.
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.
