By Default, when Newsbin opens an NZB file, it will start downloading all files listed in the NZB file and place results in the Download folder specified in the Setup Options. These options allow you greater control of what get's downloaded and where it ends up. NZB Folder ModesThe NZB Folder Modes controls where the resulting downloaded entries will land after Newsbin processes an NZB file.Each of the first three checkboxes effect the folder structure that Newsbin will use to further organize where your downloaded files will end up. The example box at the top of this section and the resulting box at the bottom illustrate the change to the folder structure that checking each box represents. Add Group Name to Download FolderGroup Name is the name of the usenet group where the downloaded posts originated. Add NZB Folder to Download FolderNZB Folder name is the folder where the NZB file was found. You can use this with the Autoload Folder option to keep downloads organized as they are in the Autoload folders. Add NZB Filename to Download FolderNZB file name is just that, the file name without the nzb extension. If the Clean NZB Path option is selected then NewsBin removes file prefix information. This results in smaller and more descriptive folder names. NZB Load Settings D&D/Load NZB to one Post ListThis option is used to determine behavior if you select multiple NZB files to be loaded into newsbin. Depending on the value of this setting Newsbin will either load all the NZB files into a single Post list, or separate each one out into its own Post List. Download Double-Clicked NZBThis option is used to determine what to do if you double-click a NZB file (or select Open from from within a Web browser which is effectively the same thing). If set the NZB file is loaded directly into the Download list, and if not set the contents of the NZB are loaded into a Post tab for manual selection. NZB Autoload Settings Autoload NZB PathThe Autoload NZB feature allows you to specify a folder for NewsBin to monitor for NZB files, or ZIP files containing NZB files. NewsBin polls this folder every 10 seconds for new files. When you save an NZB file to this folder (or subfolders beneath this folder), NewsBin will automatically load it and process it as specified in the other options. After an NZB file is processed, Newsbin will move the NZB file into a LOADED folder under the NZB Autoload Folder. You can make this folder structure as Locating interesting content can be a challenge. The Usenet is primarily organized in Newsgroups. There are hundreds if not thousands of them. They are organized in a hierarchical fashion. For as much as we’re concerned, most interesting content will be under the alt.binaries.* hierarchy. This is where most files are located.Although your newsreader–the software you use to browse newsgroups and upload and download content–will allow you to peruse the messages in each group, finding a specific file can be a difficult task. This is especially true when you consider that, due to message size limitations, most files are split into several smaller parts. Locating all the parts and making sure they’re all downloaded a very difficult task.Search Engines and the NZB File FormatBack in 2004, a site named newzbin.com started indexing the files that were available on Usenet. They would scan Usenet servers, find all parts of each file and build a file in a specific format they created for that purpose: an NZB file. Their website was a search engine where you’d look for specific content and then download the corresponding NZB file.The NZB file is just a plain XML file containing the message ID of each part of any given file. Most Usenet clients–also called newsreaders–understand NZB files and, using the message ID information they contain, will proceed to directly download all relevant parts of a file. The process is fast and efficient as the newsreader doesn’t even have to parse message headers and only reads actual content data.The best Free NZB Search Engines Available TodayNewzbin.com went down in 2012, in the wake of a lawsuit in the UK by Hollywood movie studios. Just like torrents, Usenet is often used to store and distribute copyrighted material and, for that reason, news servers and indexers are often the targets of such lawsuits.There are still many good NZB search engines available today. We’ve searched the web to find the best ones that are available free of charge. We’ll talk about each search engine’s best features and give you our first impression. Some NZB search engines are freely accessible to all while others do require users to register. We’re introducing them in no particular order.BinsearchBinsearch is a freely accessible NZB Search engine. It doesn’t require registration and it works well. If you want plain Usenet search functionality, this might be for you. It is the most popular NZB search engine.Its user interface could hardly be easier to use. You simply enter your search term, specify the number of results per page that should be displayed, and the maximum age of the retrieved posts. One can also opt to search only the most popular groups or in other groups (which we assume to be the less popular ones). You then click the Search button to get your results.As an example, we searched for the recently released Captain Underpants movie. Here are the results we got.To get the sought-after NZB file, you first need to check the box next to the file youCheck NZB files with NZB File Validator - nzbusenet.com

Want. If the file has many parts, make sure you check them all. Then, you click the Create NZB button at the top or the bottom of the list. You’ll be prompted for a location to store the NZB file. As soon as the download is completed, you simply open the file in your newsreader to download the actual content. Most newsreaders will allow you to do that by just double-clicking the file.Binsearch is the only NZB search engine that won’t automatically select all the parts of files, making using it a bit more difficult. And if you mistakenly create an NZB file that’s missing some parts, the resulting downloaded file won’t work.nzbindexnzbindex is another freely accessible NZB search engine. It is similar in functionality to many other such sites. Its home page looks simpler and somewhat more modern than Binsearch’s. It allows one to enter a search term, specify the maximum age and number of results per page and hit the Search button.The search results are presented in a very similar way to Binsearch’s. You need to check whatever file you’re looking for and click the Create NZB button to start the download of the NZB file to your computer.A few features we love about nzbindex is the possibility of flagging some results as spam or requesting the takedown of some copyrighted material. Both can be done by simply checking the file and clicking the appropriate button at the top of the screen.nzbindex also has an advanced search feature that lets you specify even more search parameters to narrow down your results. You could, for example, limit your search to only certain newsgroups or hide crossposts. Overall, nzbindex is a very capable search engine.nzbOur next entry, nzb, is different from the two previous options in that it requires users to register before using the service. The registration is free but will require that you give them your email address. Once you’ve filled the registration page, you’re taken straight to the search engine homepage.It is obviously very different from the previous search engines. The interface is much more graphic and has some very interesting features, well beyond a simple search. For instance, right there on the homepage, you have thumbnails for files recently added in the movies and TV shows categories.Clicking any thumbnail will take you to that movie or show page where you’ll find a list of all the available files on Usenet. In the case of TV shows, you’ll not only see the latest episode but also all the available past episodes.Searching is also very easy. All you need to do is type in your search term in the box at the top right of the screen. Optionally, you can also use the drop-down list to restrict your search to a certain type of files such as movies or TV. you then click the Go! button to see your search results.Once you have your search results you have two options: you can either click the box at the. check: Checks if a NZB file is fetchable. combine: Combines multiple NZB files into one. extract: Extracts files in a NZB file into new NZB files. get: Fetches data specified in a NZB file. mirror: Download the NZB file.

SFV is possible if it's in the set. These days many things are posted without SFV files anymore.
