The NZB file extension is utilized by the NewzBin Usenet Index File. This type of files stores index information about Usenet discussion group postings. It contains information such as newsgroup name, poster, date posted, total amount of parts, file names and their IDs and part numbers. NZB files are very similar to NZB2, NZO, and MPB files.
NZB is a cross-platform file format which is human readable. It are often created manually or via a special Usenet client. Some Usenet archive sites offer NZB downloads for their user base, allowing them to easily download entire collections of posts all at once. Users can create their own NZB files if they know how to use an Usenet client. However, some dedicated Usenet indexing sites now offer methods for downloading NZB automatically.
Supported Programs and Use Cases:
Newzbin 2, an Internet Indexing site, utilizes NZB. Most contemporarynewsreaders allow users to utilize NZB files to locate posts and facilitate the downloading process. NZBsare also sometimes referred to as “carts” because when the user clicks on the download button,the contents of the chosen download appear in a “cart” window. The software used to decodemultiple parts of a post and then regenerate the original poster's file is known as a binarydecoder.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NZB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .NZB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .NZB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .NZB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .NZB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NZB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NZB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .NZB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NZB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NZB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
