“Urd (Usenet Resource Downloader) is a Web-based Usenet binary
download manager. It stores the newsgroup information in a MySQL
database and aggregates the articles into sets of a single download
(e.g. one album or movie). The Web interface can be used to search
with regular expressions. It uses its own downloading daemon that
has support for scheduling downloads and updating databases.

URD can also download directly from NZB files and even create
NZB files. Further features include custom scripts, multiple
languages, a template based Web interface, support for multiple
servers, automatic par2 and unrar support, and an intuitive user
interface.
