Usenet is a worldwide distributed Internet discussion system. It was established in 1980. Users read and post messages to different categories known as newsgroups.

NZB is a file format used widely in Usenet. It is an XML document, which contains information about post and all parts of binary file. Usually Usenet search engines use this file format: they create an NZB file which contains information about what has to be downloaded. Traditional methods like downloading the message headers are less efficient and much slower than NZB concept.

For a better search for NZB files we’ve integrated external Usenet search engines into the GetNZB software. You can use the internal search and start a download from the client directly.

Also you can use any other external Usenet search engine or NZB forum and open .nzb files with a GetNZB client to start the download automatically. Here are some good search engine examples:

Binsearch.info
NZBIndex.nl
NZBScout

Find a collection you need using "Find NZB" and click on "Download" button (you can choose specific files for downloading, just click on "View Files"). You can also specify an NZB file from your computer (or website URL) pressing on "Load NZB".

GetNZB does not store segments, but downloads ones from Usenet network. If the part is absent on the first Usenet server – software will download it from the second, third and tenth server, if necessary. GetNZB creates error ONLY in case of segment was absent on all available Usenet providers.

Segment could be deleted by following reasons:

• Copyright Infringement
• Violation of local or international laws
• Expired retention (more than 3 years)

For your convenience we recommend to mark downloads using different tags or to add them to Starred. Please note that tag list is editable.

Most likely unsuccessful file download is caused by file aging or its removal from Usenet servers by moderator. Transmitting problems are also possible. You can try to "Redownload wrong files" using right-click menu.

Large sized files (often split into several parts by archiver) could be corrupted after downloading. If PAR2 files are included in the downloaded collection, you can try to "Repair" damaged files.

After you delete a download it is being moved to the folder "Deleted". For final deleting use "Real delete" function in right-click menu.

After registration you will be sent an e-mail containing activation code and activation link. If you haven't received the confirmation e-mail within 30 minutes after registration, please send a message to activate(a)getnzb.com
