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.
