NZB File Tutorial

Downloading with NZB Files

An NZB file contains a list of pointers to the parts of a file that you can downloaded from Usenet. You can open NZB files with newsreader programs such as SABnzbd, GrabIt and Newsleecher.

When you open an NZB file your newsreader will connect to Usenet and download each part necessary to complete the entire file. After all the parts are downloaded the newsreader will piece together all the parts to create the file.
