  1. Download and install SABnzbd.

  2. Once SABnzbd has been installed double click on the desktop icon (alternatively you can do a Start Menu search for “SABnzbd”). Wait just a few seconds and the SABnzbd web interface will appear. 

  3. Upon launch, select your language preference and continue. On the next screen you will be prompted to enter your news server information. That information is:

    1. Host: news.tweaknews.eu

    2. Username: your assigned username, you will find this in your welcome email as well as the Tweaknews interface. 

    3. Password: Your selected password. This is also the password for the Tweaknews.eu site. 

    4. In addition to the login information it offers a checkbox for SSL and an advanced settings option. We usually suggest using the SSL option.

  4. Once you have selected your server setting setting options and login information click on next. 

  5. Now SABnzbd is ready to begin downloading. 

    1. You can begin by clicking on the plus symbol “+” in the top menu. This will give you the option of adding an NZB file directly from your computer or from a URL.

    2. Additionally you can create a “Watch Folder” on your hard drive. When NZB files are added to this watch folder SABnzbd will automatically go to work downloading the associated files. 

      1. To set this folder up click on the gear icon to access the settings. Once in the settings click on the “Folder” menu and set the “Watched Folder” to the folder of your choice.
