With command Pause download you can manually pause the download queue.

The pausing of post-processing depends on how the post-processing-script handles screen output and may not always work.

The Pause/Resume Button (the round one) pauses or resumes all three activities: download, post-processing and nzb directory scan.

Below you'll find the accepted formats

• The simplest filter is a word. The table is searched for the word and only the entries containing the word are shown.
• To search only in certain column add the column name and colon before search text. For example "name:debian" will search only in column "Name".
• To search for entries having more than one search word separate the words with a space. For example "debian iso".
• To search for entries having ANY of the words separate the words with |. For example "debian | ubuntu" shows entries with any of these words.
• To negate the condition add character - (hyphen) before the search word. For example "-iso" shows entries without word "iso".
• Use parenthesis to build more complex searches. For example "(debian | ubuntu) iso" or "-(name:debian|name:ubuntu) category:iso".
• Available operators:
  • = - exact match;
  • <> - not equal;
  • >, <, <=, >= - integer comparison operators.
• Special fields:
  • sizemb, sizegb, leftmb, leftgb - initial and remaining size in MB or GB;
  • agem, ageh, aged - post age in minutes, hours or days;
  • priority - priority of the download (as integer value). Default priorities are: -100 (very low), -50 (low), 0 (normal), 50 (high), 100 (very high), 900 (force).
• Searchable fields in settings: name, description, value.

Feed filter consists of rules - one rule per line. Each rule defines a search string and a command, which must be performed if the search string matches. There are five kinds of rule-commands: Accept, Reject, Require, Options, Comment.

Definition of a rule:

[A:|A(options):|R:|Q:|O(options):|#] <search string>

Options

Options allow to set properties on nzb-file. It's a comma-separated list of property names with their values.

Definition of an option:

name:value

Options can be defined using long option names or short names:

Rule-options override values set in feed-options.

Search string

The search string is similar to used in search engines. It consists of search terms separated with spaces. Every term is checked for a feed item and if they all succeed the rule is considered matching.

Definition of a term:

[+|-][field:][command]param

• Commands @ and $ are for use with text fields (title, filename, category, link, description, dupekey, dupestatus).
• Commands =, <, <=, > and >= are for use with numeric fields (size, age, imdbid, rageid, tvdbid, tvmazeid, season, episode, priority, dupescore).
• Any newznab attribute (encoded as "newznab:attr" in the RSS feed) can be used as search field with prefix "attr-", for example "attr-genre".

• Text search supports wildcard characters * (matches any number of any characters), ? (matches any one character) and # (matches one digit).
• Text search is by default performed against words (word-search mode): the field content is separated into words and then each word is checked against pattern.
• If the search pattern starts and ends with * (star) the search is performed against the whole field content (substring-search mode).
• If the search pattern contains word separator characters (except * and ?) the search is performed on the whole field (the word-search would be obviously never successful in this case).
• Word separators: !\"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~

• Field "size" can have suffixes "K" or "KB" for kilobytes, "M" or "MB" for megabytes and "G" or "GB" for gigabytes.
• Field "age" can have suffixes "m" for minutes, "h" for hours and "d" for days. If suffix is not specified default is days.

NOTE: Only fields title, filename and age are always present. The availability of other fields depend on rss feed provider.

Examples

• A: s01* -category:anime
• my show WEB-DL
• *my?show* WEB-DL size:<1.8GB age:>2h
• R: size:>9GB
• Q: HDTV
• A(category:big movies, priority:50, pause:yes): size:>8GB

• For adding of local files the web-interface uses FileReader API available in most modern browsers:

  Browser	Minimum version	Tested version
  Firefox	3.6	13
  Chrome	6	19
  Opera	11.1	12
  Safari	6	6.0
  IE	10	10

• You can drag and drop files directly onto the downloads page without clicking on the Add button first. The Add Dialog will show automatically.
• Priority and category can be changed later in the edit dialog.
• The categories can be configured in section CATEGORIES on settings page.
• Use button Scan incoming directory if the automatic scanning of incoming nzb-directory is disabled (see options NzbDir and NzbDirInterval).

When installed using official installer the program offers automatic installation of updates directly via web-interface. For packages provided by third-parties please refer to their update instructions.

The program can also automatically check for new versions. By default you'll be notifed about new stable releases. To disable notifications or to activate them also for testing releases use option UpdateCheck in section "SECURITY".
