NZB Site Guide

What is an NZB Site? - An NZB site monitors Usenet newsgroups and allows you to search for files and then download NZB files. Then you feed the NZB file into an NZB "client" program like SuperNZB which will connect to your ISP's Usenet "news" server and download the files that you initially searched for.

Why do I need an NZB Site? - Because they save you time. Many newsgroups have zillions of files and it takes a long time to search through them with a traditional newsreader program.

This site requires a free registration, and allows you to download a few NZBs per day for no charge. To download more, there is a small subscription fee. The listings are created by editors, and users discuss NZBs on this site, so you will be sheilded from downloading bad files, which is always a big problem with the free sites.

binsearch.info

This is a free site, however all the listings are generated by an automated process. There are no editors to provide user-friendly titles for files, and no commentary by users on the quality of the files. Newbies will find this site difficult to use.

This site was off-line from November 2009 until the spring of 2010. But it is back now and seems to be working fine. See the binsearch.info listing above for what to expect from a free site.

NewzBin.com

NewzBin invented the NZB format and is a very nice website. Their NZB files are very high quality. For example, with a large RAR archive, they will include the PAR files too so that you don't have to hunt for them. The site is not free, but is very cheap. However, we can no longer recommend it since they have been required to remove most of their listings due to losing a lawsuit in March 2010.
