HellaNZB stopped downloading from newzbin

I was getting a new install of hellanzb up and running and noticed that it wouldn't download the nzb's from newzbin. I found that the problem was an old uri path in the python scripts. My file was located atÂ /usr/share/python-support/hellanzb/Hellanzb/NewzbinDownloader.py. Right after the class definition "url" is defined. Just search for v3.newzbin.com/dnzb. Change http://v3.newzbin.com/dnzb to http://v3.newzbin.com/api/dnzb and save.Â I hope this helps out others until hellanzb gets a fix up. I haven't checked, but this may already be in HEAD.

Would you please be able to write a short tutorial on getting hellanzb working with newzbin.com. I'm not too sure what it actually does but it sounds interesting; there is a lack of documentation on the Internet or in the MAN pages. Thanks. JD

I've been quite busy lately, but as soon as I get some free time I'll update the code base to account for the rss changes at newzbin and I'll try to put out a quick start guide.
