Passive Usenet Downloading

Is it possible to download on Usenet passively?

For example, I can set up an rss feed in utorrent and have it pick up a keyword of a show I want then autodownload it.


Is there an equiliviant in the usenet world? I've looked and there are the same rss feed setups that link to nzb files.

Is there any software out there that will check a handful of rss feeds for specific names and download whatever matches?


All it would have to do is open the zip file (if there is one) then execute the .nzb file and the client would take care of the rest
OR
That feature would be integrated in the client.

Anyone know?

You have several options:

alt.binz has an RSS feed scanner. You could point this to tvnzb.com, nzbmatrix, etc.

sabnzbd, floamtv, NZBivo, PrenominalNZB, and PADS.

Awesome lofi!

The sabnzbd client looks really promising. I'm going to give it a try.
