NAME

       nzb — nzb based Usenet binary grabber

SYNOPSIS

       nzb [nzb-file]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the nzb application.

       nzb  is a binary news grabber written in Qt 4. It natively downloads and decodes the files
       specified in the .nzb file, an XML format which describes binary files on Usenet by  their
       message-id.  nzb  provides  support  for direct streaming of media files to your favourite
       media player.

       nzb files are a popular way to describe files posted on Usenet which span several messages
       (multi-part  binaries). These files eliminate the need to fetch headers from newsgroups as
       .nzb files contain the message-ids of the segments which can be downloaded  directly  from
       most     news     servers.     A     technical     description    can    be    found    at
       http://docs.newzbin.com/Newzbin:NZB_Specs

       nzb makes Usenet downloading easy by providing an easy to use interface which loads  up  a
       specified  .nzb  file  and either downloads the files described in the nzb file or streams
       the data to an external application. This is usually used for video files which results in
       streaming video over Usenet.
