NZB
Encyclopedia : N : NZ : NZB : NZB
NZB is a free file format based on the XML and created by the owners of the internet site newzbin.com. The intention with NZB files is to create small header files for Usenet so that the user does not have to download the headers of an entire newsgroup in order to download the potentially few files that the user might want to download. NZB files allow compatible news clients to find easily messages containing parts of a file using their message-ID. Once these parts are downloaded, the client software rebuilds the initial file.
