Redundant Upload Scheduling

Multi-threaded chunked uploads handled asynchronously via Celery workers with custom backoff, automatic retry, and newsgroup group selection metrics.

NZB Generation

Exports raw NZB metadata standard XML payloads containing message IDs for easy integration with external Usenet downloaders and decoders.

Self-Healing & Verification

Uses NNTP XOVER commands periodically to verify headers availability, triggering recovery or self-healing tasks if newsgroup retention drops or chunks expire.
