Secure and Control NZBGet Efficiently

Fine-tuning NZBGet on Easynews goes beyond cipher selection. Users can boost speeds, manage queues, and operate entirely by keyboard or terminal.

Cipher Configurations

Edit the ServerX.Cipher field for better performance:

• OpenSSL: RC4-MD5 or AES128-SHA

• GnuTLS: NONE:+VERS-TLS-ALL:+ARCFOUR-128:+RSA:+MD5:+COMP-ALL

Test with OpenSSL

Run:

openssl speed

Evaluate encryption and hash combinations. Match results to the fastest cipher for your hardware.

Navigation and Control Shortcuts

Use keys like:

• Shift+D/S/M/H – Move across tabs

• A, P, R, D, T, U – Queue actions

• Modal: Enter/Escape

• Messages and History: M/G/B/N/F

Command Line Use

NZBGet’s terminal commands allow full control:

• Server: -s, -D, -Q

• Queue: -A, -L, -E (edit/move/delete)

• Modes: outputmode=log, color, curses

For more details, look at the official NZBGet website.

Operate the server from one machine, control it from another.
