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
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]
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.
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 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.
