Hi,

I have no experience in programming PHP at all so I dont know what it is capeble of.
I want to buy a networkdisk witch has also ftp, PHP, mysql, htp functions. It can handle a bittorrent to download whatever you ask it to download.

I thought it would be great if it could download from the newsgroups so I can shut of my computer and let the disk do the downloding. This however is not a standard function and my question is if it is possible to write a piece of PHP that can manage a NZB and then download from the newsgroups and write it to the disk.

Many thanks in advance,
Rob.

It's possible. I'm not sure how, exactly, but I know it's possible.

I forgot to mention that a NZB seems to be something that is used mainly in the Netherlands because I dont see mutch about that on other than dutch websites. Perhaps I am wrong about that but it looks like it.
