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.
Easynews
Easynews has a search feature that is far more advanced than any of the sites listed below. You will be able to find files that the other sites don’t even know exist, and even see samples of video, audio, and images to make sure you found the right file. After doing your search, you can download an NZB file, or download the files directly from their web page because Easynews is also a Usenet service.
binsearch.info
binsearch.info 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.
NewzBin2
NewzBin2′s search feature is second only to that of Easynews. NewzBin invented the NZB format and was the premier NZB site until they lost a lawsuit in March 2010 and went out of business. The site has been reincarnated as NewzBin2 under new management, using the same software. In addition to raw Usenet search, NewzBin has file reports created by editors, and user comments on the reports. So, if you are a newbie, that will help you select the right files to download as there are often multiple versions of many files. NewzBin is not free, but is very cheap – only $2-$3 per month.
