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.
