I was using hellanzb for a while when I was doing binary downloads via nzb files. It's not a GUI though, but it was easy to configure and worked incredibly well! I was using a GUI reader to grab the nzb files, but I don't remember which one it was. Looked like xpn but I don't know if that was it.

SABnzbd+ is pretty good, it uses a web interface and checks your newzbin account for bookmarks automatically so there's no need to manually d/l the nzb files, it's got a pretty cool firefox plugin too. On Sat, 2009-03-21 at 09:46 -0700, Blake wrote: Gotta be gui... I've been using newsbin for

Thanks for that, I had no idea Adobe had anything like this. The only downfall is it's limited to 15 participants at a time. Their Connect Pro solution might work though, I don't see anything about a participant limit. They don't have pricing for that online though, which leads me to believe it's

Adobe's Connect Pro is CRAZY expensive, so we're not likely to use it. Using icecast is an interesting idea. I wasn't aware that icecast handled video, it's been a while since I've played with it. I'm not sure how easy it would be for our marketing dept. to set up though. Coccinella looks pretty
