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.
