Follow the steps below to configure SABnzbd on macOS for optimal access to Eweka's secure Usenet service. Start by downloading SABnzbd from their official website.

Step 1: Open SABnzbd

  1. After installation, open SABnzbd by clicking the icon in your Applications folder or via Launchpad.
  2. Your default browser will launch and open the setup wizard. If it does not open automatically, visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Step 2: Choose a Language

Step 3: Add Server Details

  1. Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, then click the "Servers" tab on top of the main screen.
  2. Click the "Add Server" button

  1. Enter Eweka’s server settings as follows:
    • Server Address: news.eweka.nl

    • Port: 563
