[Part 1] Download torrent & newsserver package

[DynaMight]

All of these programs require quite a bit of CPU and memory to run, I have previously installed them on my Pi (from this guide: http://www.cylindric.net/blog/raspberrypi-setup/) and SABnzb struggled to download at 1MB/sec. So don't expect large download speeds. I don't know if that could had been improved as I didnt play with it for long and had my NAS mounted so possibly that caused larger load.

Anyway, SABnzb is a hog. My NAS has a 1.2Ghz CPU but can only manage SABnzb at about 3-3.5MB/sec @ 90-99% CPU load, whereas NZBGet happily comes down at 7.5MB/sec @ 60-70% CPU load. On my old NAS (400Mhz) as it could just about manage NZBGet at a decent speed, but Sickbeard was too much to handle together, I used Leechr http://code.google.com/p/leechr/ which only ran for a few minutes once a day (you can set more via crontab) it worked really well imo. Download is theres no GUI so all details need to be entered into the config file.

NZBGet + Leechr would be a good lightweight Newsgroups TV show downloader, well NZBGet can be used for any download too.
