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.
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.

While MS-DOS and NT always treat the suffix after the last period in a file's name as its extension, in UNIX-like systems, the final period does not necessarily mean that the text after the last period is the file's extension. [1] Some file formats, such as .txt or .text, may be listed multiple times.
Torrent files are normally named with the extension.torrent. A torrent file acts like a table of contents (index) that allows computers to find information through the use of a torrent client. With the help of a torrent file, one can download small parts of the original file from computers that have already downloaded it.
