+This is a fork of the original NZBGet project formerly maintained by [hugbug](https://github.com/hugbug). The nzbget.com project is an extension of the original, and is maintained in honor of and with respect to its maintainer of many years.  We hope to continue where the [hugbug](https://github.com/hugbug) left off by providing a useful downloader for the benefit of the Usenet community.
