CouchPotato
=====

CouchPotato (CP) is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a "movies I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours.
Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory.


## Running from Source

CouchPotatoServer can be run from source. This will use *git* as updater, so make sure that is installed.

* If you come and ask on the forums 'why directory selection no work?', I will kill a kitten, also this is because you need PyWin32
