CouchPotato is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a "movies I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the .nzb or .torrent to a specified directory.

Prerequisits:

  1. SABnzbd
  2. CouchPotato

CouchPotato can be accessed from http://cpotato:5000/ -or- yourHDAip:5000 (i.e. 192.168.1.10:5000)

How to configure with SABnzbd:

Open your config page at http://cpotato:5000/config/ or by clicking the gear at the top.
