nntpPoster

A utility to bulk upload files and folders to usenet.

short overview

This utility allows you to do mass uploads of files and/or folders.

Optionally the uploads can be obfuscated so only a select indexer has knowledge of the exact file that was uploaded.

Prerequisites

In order to run this utility you need the following on your system:

• .Net 4.5+ or the latest version of mono
• The rar commandline utility
• The par2 commandline utility

On non windows systems you will also need sqlite3 installed.

Optionally if also stripping file metadata:

• Mkvpropedit (part of Mkvtoolnix)
• ffmpeg

Installation

See the wiki for instructions for Windows and Linux

Logging

For logging log4net is used. All logging is configured with the log4netConfig.xml file. This is monitored in real time so a service restart is not required if you modify logging settings.

The log files are the main source of information to monitor the application. When something does not work as expected, please check these first.

During the development phase I recomend letting the log levels as they are.
