Autoposters you have probably seen the result from:
YENC-POWER-POST-A&A-v11b (Modified POWER-POST www.CosmicWolf.com)
Another is "JBinUp" (google it). It's a Java app which works quite well.
Don't recall if it does NZB files, but its site should tell you.
Both of them has a learning curve, as all programs do. The test groups
are your friends.
sabnzbd is a daemon (on GNU/Linux) and a "service" on that Redmond system
and you use it through your browser (e.g., Firefox). You set it to watch
a directory for NZB files (an open xml format), or you can load the files
one by one. You drop the files in this directory and sabnzbd does the
rest: download, repair, extract, move to output directory as
subdirectories. Easy as 1-2-3.
Using the old-fashioned select-download-sort method can drive you crazy
when there are lots of files.
I could be remembering it wrong, but couldn't XNews create NZB files,
too? Or could it only use them, i.e., download stuff using them? Either
way, it's a thing you would want to learn about, since it's so much
faster. You are freed-up to cover more ground looking for more stuff to
create NZB's of.
Oh, and one important thing to remember is, to set a limitation on how
much sabnzbd can download before the drive is considered full. ;)
For settings and stuff you can check out youtube, saw some videos there.
But really, it isn't exactly rocket science.
