Are there any other console based nzb clients like hella? I'm looking for one that is kept up to date. I know of no other clients like this, but I thought I would ask just incase there's one lurking around that somebody knows of.

Stabbers right. I forgot to put that in my OP.

Alright thanks you two. I'm glad I asked this since I wasn't aware of any other cli-based apps. Appreciate it.

That's what I was thinking too since I haven't been able to find out anything about on their site. I remember when I first moved to linux nntpgrab(along with Pan) was one of the first clients I used. But it was gui based.

I thought I was being blind. ;)

Also, I had mentioned another choice of console-based news client when you asked the same question in this thread. :P

I didn't even notice that post. I tend to forget about threads fairly quickly. :P

Anyways, I just went back with Hella. Like you said, constant releases aren't really a big deal(that's one of the reasons I love rtorrent so much). There's no crippling bugs in Hella that I can see, so I might as well stick with it.

From what I remember I was having trouble configuring nget. Maybe I'll go back to it and give it another go.

Actually that was nzbget that I was having trouble with, I haven't tried nget yet. Thanks for bringing it up, zot.
