Download Sick Beard build 465.02 alpha

Sick Beard is a program that can help bring order to the chaos of TV series. It can keep an eye on when new episodes are available, if better quality episodes are available, and can bring some uniformity to the naming. Furthermore, it is also possible to download episodes from Usenet to a lesser extent via BitTorrent. The program is controlled from a web browser and can therefore be used on any operating system. The development is still at an early stage and the program will also be made available as an alpha release.

Features include:

• automatically retrieves new episode torrent or nzb files
• can scan your existing library and then download any old seasons or episodes you’re missing
• can watch for better versions and upgrade your existing episodes (to from TV DVD/BluRay for example)
• XBMC library updates, poster/fanart downloads, and NFO/TBN generation
• configurable episode renaming
• sends NZBs directly to SABnzbd, prioritizes and categorizes them properly
• available for any platform, uses simple HTTP interface
• can notify XBMC, Growl, or Twitter when new episodes are downloaded
• specials and double episode support

The program is currently in alpha – any new update might break existing functionality. Use at your own risk!
