HellaPhoneÂ
I currently use hellanzb for all of my usenet downloads. It’s much simpler than anything I have used before and is a simple install. Very simple if you are on a Debian (Ubuntu), or Darwin System (Mac OS X).I developed this interface for my own personal use and nothing more. That being said, there is very little error checking if any, and even less error reporting in the interface. I planned on releasing this when it is more complete, but I have not had the time to spend on it due to other projects that put food on my table. The app does work pretty well for a quick newzbin search and download to your existing hellanzb install. It just doesn’t monitor the downloads or report an error if the download doesn’t initiate. I planned on rectifying that at some future date.The requirements are:
- Â php5
- cakephp 1.2.x
- allow_url_open - (maybe, I may have changed it to curl, can’t remember, don’t care)
- hellanzb install with allowed network access
- newzbin account
If enough people show interest I may make time to work on it some more. Please, if you are interested in upgrading or continuing work on this project, Leave it in the comments. And of course donations are always welcome. Download from the HellaPhone page  Some screenshots

I’m very interested in this front end. Could you please tellme how to install it. I use Wampserver on Windows.
Thank you.

I too was going to create something like this.
I hope you’re using IUI - why reinvent the wheel when it makes it so simple

Has anyone gotten this thing working?

I am planning on writing a native front-end to HellaNZB for the iPhone. Any interest on this?
Sunday, 17. August 2008
The native front end would be great. I stopped downloading usenet so I really don’t have any interest in developing anymore.

I’ll keep you updated if I happen to get something worked out. Thanks.

This is the perfect idea for a frontend to an appletv with hellanzb running. With a little polish - maybe bring it more in line with the Apple Remote.app - could be the killer app for the combined hacked iPhone/AppleTV. It would make downloading and viewing usenet videos as easy, if not easier, than getting them from Apple’s own video store on the AppleTV.
I’m pretty inexperienced in iPhone development, but I’d be willing to help with whatever I can. Just let me know.

Hi, i have a 404 when i go to myserver/hellaphone :
The requested URL /hellaphone/users/login was not found on this server.
Why does it keep going to that URL?
Saturday, 15. November 2008
“The requested URL /users/login was not found on this server.”
This is the actual error i get.

sounds like you don’t have mod_rewrite enabled. Enable it, and give it a try.

mod_rewrite seems to be loaded : http://julien.barrau.org/phpinfo.php
Do you have another lead?

Do you have AllowOveride On for that virtualhost?

> Do you have AllowOveride On for that virtualhost?
No i don’t, it says “AllowOverride None”
Should i activate it or is it OK this way?
Friday, 21. November 2008
yes, it should be changed to AllowOverride All
Friday, 21. November 2008
Hi again, i put AllowOverride All and it works now, thanks very much for you help.
I also had to install php-pear, otherwise search function wouldn’t had worked.
