Need app for downloading from usenet on android

[kallekill]

I have been trying to find an app to download from usenet on my Samsung Galaxy phone. I have tried NZBget but it crashes all the time. Is there a good app that works?

Why limit yourself so severely? Cheap cloud vm with Radarr/Sonarr and SABnzbd would be a world of difference

The question always is, the way the obfuscation is now, will some of these other programs extract them properly?? I am also thinking about the speeds and the cost if you are not on WIFI??
And really is it not really a linux base "Android"?? Can you install SABnzb?? or other popular ones that are updated to adapt to the newer stealthing ??

Anyone??

[anon]

It runs a Linux kernel, but that's where the similarities end. You can't take a program compiled for a "normal" Linux and run it on Android because even the packaging and executable format are different. It has to be ported, adapted and compiled specifically for the platform.

(Note that I'm talking about "apps" here; there are Linux programs like busybox that will run with minimal or no changes as long as the instruction set matches, but they're not what you think of when you hear "Android programs".)

Thank you for the response.....
Again Anon i am not that tech savvy , but really thinking about it, even if there is a program that you can download to a Cell Phone or Pad, how much HDD space do you have to store?? Are you going to download something and keep deleting after you watch it??
If you have a newer phone or tablet, i can say you may have good speeds for downloading but that is as far as it goes......

Yes, I agree that it would be situational usage at best... I mean, there are phones with 256 and even 512 GB of internal storage now, but they're expensive as fuck (as are SD cards of the same capacities). But maybe those who have TVs and set-top boxes that run Android and support external storage would find a use for this.

I would think that most Smart Tv's and streaming boxes again run Linux and i know you can Torrent shit to them easy, but Usenet??

I know Gribley has not been around but he is a Guru with Using the raspberry Pi and doing shit like downloading direct to it?? He almost had me conviced a few times to purchase Pi's and set them up, for the price they are fast and efficient little boxes that program to do a ton of stuff, and again they run of a linux platform (If i remember correctly)....
Really if you have Internet at home and you have really a few bucks extra you can buy a half decent laptop pretty cheap and an external plug in drive to make downloading easier. Add Plex or UMS, you got a Media Server, or just plug the HDD right into the TV and done.. Or even better if you have unlimited data cell plan you can tether as well, it is slow as fuck after you go through the Cell providers max data but again another way to download, my kid tried tethering before he got full internet installed, and he said it was brutal, slow and really couldn't stream anything good........
Now all of this interesting talk Anon, is really only benefiting us LOL!!!, because i think the guy who actually asked the question now has his 10 posts and really doesn't give two shits!!!!...
But it is and interesting conversation.......

The Raspberry Pi is different. It runs a "real" Linux with a package manager and several distros available. Some models can even run Windows 10 (IoT Core). In other words, it was specifically designed for this sort of tinkering
