		+	Note from author (Methanoid):
		+	I no longer recommend this method/program. It's been superceded by the more efficient NZBget, a guide for which is in the forums. Both are more efficient than SABnzbd+ which takes too much resource for a Linkstation (400mhz ARM models) to be usable.

	This has been tested and works well on a ARM9 Linkstation Live. Should work on others. We are using HellaNZB which is a NZB-based usenet "leech" client which also PAR checks and un-archives the files you have downloaded.		This has been tested and works well on a ARM9 Linkstation Live.

-	Realistically you will probably want a web based frontend. Hellahella doesn't ~~seme~~ to want to run ~~but~~ Zussaweb ~~works fine with Lighttpd~~. ~~You~~ could use a 2nd instance of Apache or maybe piggyback on the Apache that runs the LS's web interface but it didn't work for me.	+	Realistically you will probably want a web based frontend. Hellahella doesn't seem to want to run, Zussaweb looks pretty for monitoring downloads but the upload NZB and Newzbin ID imports don't work for me. I used Lighttpd but you could use a 2nd instance of Apache or maybe piggyback on the Apache that runs the LS's web interface but it didn't work for me. I chose HellaPHP as it worked 100%, required minimal configuration and the author was prepared to amend it to work 100% on my Linkstation setup. He's also adding some more functionality in future like password protection etc and a new look.
