When a large file is posted to a Usenet newsgroup, it is usually divided into multiple messages (called segments or parts) each having its own Message-ID. [11] An NZB-capable Usenet client will read all needed Message-IDs from the NZB file, download them and decode the messages back into a binary file (usually using yEnc or Uuencode). [12]

NZB files are similar to torrent files, as they do not contain the file itself, but information about the location of the file to be downloaded. [7] The search results could be browsed free of charge after creating a user account, but access to the NZB files was restricted to premium members who paid a subscription. [4] [8]
Newsbin Pro has been under constant development since its inception, and is an early adopter of Usenet software technologies, such as yEnc encoding, parchives, the NZB file format, and the XFeatures NNTP extension for header compression.
Spotnet is a protocol on top of Usenet, providing a decentralized alternative to usenet indexing websites, and the NZB format in general. [1] Spotnet allows users to create and browse private 'newsservers', or decentralized repositories of files and information.
In an attempt to reduce file transfer times, an informal file encoding known as yEnc was introduced in 2001. It achieves about a 30% reduction in data transferred by assuming that most 8-bit characters can safely be transferred across the network without first encoding into the 7-bit ASCII space.
The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) is an application protocol used for transporting Usenet news articles (netnews) between news servers, and for reading/posting articles by the end user client applications.
