NZB is an XML-based file format for retrieving posts from NNTP servers. [4] The format was conceived by the developers of the Newzbin.com Usenet Index. [5] [6] NZB is effective when used with search-capable websites. [7] These websites create NZB files out of what is needed to be downloaded. [8]
Some incorporate an interface for accessing selected NZB search websites. Binary posting client – designed specifically and exclusively for posting multi-part binary files; Combination client – Jack-of-all-trades supporting text reading/posting, as well as multi-segment binary downloading and automatic Par2 processing
Newzbin indexed binary files that had been posted on Usenet, and offered the results through a search engine, with categories that included "Movies", "Music", "Apps" and "Books". [4] [5] The site created NZB files, which allowed the files to be downloaded with a suitable newsreader. [6]

In general the user must manually select, prepare and upload the data. The data is typically encrypted because it is available to anyone to download the backup files. After the files are uploaded, having multiple copies spread to different geographical regions around the world on different news servers decreases the chances of data loss.
Several file sharing protocols and file formats were introduced, along with nearly a decade in protocol experimentation. Towards the end of the 2000s, BitTorrent became subject to a "man in the middle" attack in TCP mode – and this has led most file sharing protocols to move to UDP towards the very end of the decade.
A directory is also a site where users can find other websites. Some sites focus on certain content – such as etree that focuses on live concerts – and some have no particular focus, like The Pirate Bay. Some sites specialize as search engines of other BitTorrent sites.
The program now supports single NZB files in excess of 10gb and can handle intentionally malformed posts by mushroomed NZB websites which took over the Usenet during the later years. The program is shareware operating on an annual subscription to retain search function; posting and par2 repair ( QuickPar replacement) features are free.
