What the heck is an nzb file? I checked out the listed web site, but it didn't enlighten. Thanks -- - Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.

FYI, I think it is a seperate file that is sometimes posted along with a multi-part binary that contains details about the posts that make up that binary and their order. Might even be XML. (I sort of remember seeing some in binaries groups) The long description should probably at least make mention of this. PS: Make sure to cc comments about ITPs (and bugs in general) to the BTS. I think I've managed to restore the correct cc's. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

With that information a Usenet client can download all parts for a file using just the nzb file, no need to fetch headers. nzb files are sometimes posted with the files on Usenet or provided by Usenet indexing services.
