To Be GNU/Hurd

I took some time and created a Newzbin model for HellaSmella. This makes things a little less ugly, but they also let you configure your Newzbin login info in the hellasmella.yml config file.

HellaSmella-0.07.tar.gz

I was very close to switching to WWW::Newzbin for this release. Unfortunately, after some tinkering around I realized that the file searching provided by the Newzbinx FileFind API does not let you search "reports". In the world of Newzbin, reports are the collections of files that make up a single TV show, Movie, etc. Instead of searching reports, the FileFind API only lets you search for individual files (part001.rar, part002.rar). This is fairly useless for my purposes, so it looks like I'll have to stick with screen scraping.

Here's hoping they don't shut down v2 of the site!
