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.
