It's a nzb grabber written in python (no longer in development, see www.hellanzb.com 
).

In MP 1.8 it depends on python26 and py26-twisted -- my python26 comes  
from macports, not Apple.

In Terminal start the daemon (the default config file is /opt/local/ 
etc/hellanzb.conf):
 >> hellanzb.py

I could grab some files successfully.
Then try to say, shut it down by sending a shutdown command in another  
window:
 >> hellanzb.py shutdown

It hangs (it worked in Leopard before MP 1.8).

I sent an email to the maintainer.
By the way for those interested in an another nzb grabber there is a  
newer project called SABnzbd+
(www.sabnzbd.org)
