NZB Site GuideWhat 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 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. NewzBin.comNewzBin 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, and well worth the small fee. NewzBin is unfortunately only allowing new members by invitation. They sometimes close the site to new members while doing upgrades, so hopefully they will open it back up soon. binsearch.infoThis 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 like on NewzBin. So, instead of a simple title, you will see the often-cryptic subject line from the raw posts. Newbies will find this site more difficult than NewzBin, but it does get the job done, if only in a bare-bones fashion. nzbsrus.comThis site requires a free registration. You can do searches without registering, but you will just get a bunch of nag screens and won't be able to download any NZBs, so don't bother. Users discuss NZBs on this site, so it is sort of a poor-man's NewzBin.com. NewzLeechThis site has been off-line since November 2009. |
