How to build a Low Budget-Machine Download: Build Pi -

It can be really annoying to have to manage your PC at home overnight to complete a lot of NZB downloads. Using the Raspberry Pi 2 (retail value: $ 35.00), you can build a small budget, low power Usenet download machine that works Raspbian and SABnzbd. In this multi-part series, you will learn how to successfully create an NZB downloader complete with queue management on the Web and a storage facility connected to the network for all your downloaded binary Usenet fully functional.

Why the Raspberry Pi Model B 2?

the cost of the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, especially when compared to all the technical features it offers, can not be beat at $ 35 for the CPU. The Raspberry Pi Model B 2 is the second generation Raspberry Pi. Replacement of the original in February 2015, the Pi 2 delivers six times the processing speed of its predecessor with a Broadcom BCM2836 processor upgraded. The board also has an increased memory capacity of 1 GB of RAM. The Raspberry Pi is an open-source product designed to be supported by user forums on the Internet. As a starting point, you can visit their official site for your needs of the base operating system.

what you need to build the Pi

once you have the Raspberry Pi 2 is great, but it might as well be a paper weight of $ 35 without the other components necessary to prepare for a serious download action. Remember that you will need an appropriate adapter to power the device and although the Pi 2 Model B has an Ethernet port, you might as well have the WiFi capability to save you another wired. You will also have USB storage need to store your data and USB input devices (keyboard and mouse) to configure the Pi on its initial startup. The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B has 4 USB 2.0 ports, but it is always good to have more than we recommend you take a powered USB hub in the mix as well. Finally, you'll need a good-sized SD card (4GB or more) to load and store the operating system Linux Raspbian your Pi will run. Here is our list of recommended components, you will need to build the machine Pi 2 download:

  • Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
  • Adapter microUSB (+5 volts @ 2 Amps)

  • USB WiFi Adapter (We recommend the Panda 300Mbps Wireless-N USB Adapter (PAU05))
  • USB mouse and keyboard
  • Powered USB hub to support additional devices (We recommend the D-Link DUB-H7)
  • external storage USB HDD (Two is better for data redundancy)
  • HDMI cable for video display on the initial boot
  • 8GB microSD card (We recommend 8GB, minimum 4GB)

If you are looking to save time and money, a kit can be ordered here which contains most of the elements necessary to start on the project. But if you are looking for a more personalized construction, a complete list of compatible hardware can be found here

A little on audio and video. For digital video to a standard computer monitor that lacks an HDMI port, a HDMI to DVI cable is required for video signal and 3.5mm stereo cable for sound (as you'll lose her in the HDMI DVI) conversion.

What is the next step in our series? Time to load the operating system, Raspbian
