Sabnzbdplus
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
This has been tested and works well on a ARM9 Linkstation Live. Should work on others. SABnzbd+ is a NZB-based usenet "leech" client which also PAR checks and un-archives the files you have downloaded.

Prerequisites
There are 2 options:
Stock firmware/jtymod
Installation
ipkg update ipkg upgrade ipkg install python py24-cheetah py24-cherrypy py24-elementtree py24-celementtree py24-yenc par2cmdline unrar unzip
This installs Python and all the dependencies needed including UnRar, PAR checking and YEnc decoder.
Download SABnzbd from http://www.sabnzbd.org/download/ but make sure you download the "sources" version as that includes the actual python scrips we need for NAS box. Unarchive wherever you want (but I will continue with an example). This can be done within Windows or Linux and I unarchived to
/mnt/disk1/share/sabnzbd
You can delete the files Sample-PostProc.sh, Sample-PostProc.cmd, PKG-INFO, all *.TXT files and the "Licenses" directory. Not needed.
Running for 1st Time
cd /mnt/disk1/share/sabnzbd python SABnzbd.py -f SABnzbd.ini -d
The -d runs it in daemon mode which I cannot see any reason why you would not want!
You might want to make a script to do this, else you'll be having to do this every time you restart your Linkstation
Configuration
You'll need to configure SABnzbd which is easiest done using the web interface which you can access via
http://linkstation:8080/sabnzbd/
Edit the config to include your Usenet providers server and your own choices as to whether to enable PAR or RAR checking.
Remember, the Linkstation is a NAS box not a high spec PC so don't be too greedy on the number of connections as it might actually make it go slower. For example, I can happily max out a 4Mbit line with 4 connections. Try different numbers and see how you get on.
Neilt0 reports a good speedup using a generous cache limit (reduces HD usage at the expense of some memory usage). Change this in the config screen!
cache_limit = 55000000
You'll also need to set permissions if you wanna be able to do anything with the resulting files
Permissions for Complete dir = 0777
Troubleshooting
This section covers some of the issues that can occur when installing SABnzbdplus.
Unable to access the web-interface http://your_ip_address:8080/sabnzbd/
Open the sabnzbd.log located in the logs directory, and look for the following:
Starting SABnzbd.py-0.3.3
2008-03-19 21:02:52,048::INFO::Starting web-interface on localhost:8080
2008-03-19 21:02:57,289::ERROR::Failed to start web-interface
<snip>
raise cherrypy.NotReady("Port not free.")
NotReady: Port not free.
This indicates that you already have something running on port 8080. Change the port in sabnzbd.ini (port =) to something else (ex. 8888 or 9090)
