Re: How to Make NZB Files With PowerPost
If your a NewsLeecher user and youve just updated a group or done a search and find something you would like to share then...
1. Highlight all the files that you want as part of the NZB file.
2. Right click and select Export to NZB File.
3. Choose a name and then seclect OK.
The new NZB file will be saved to the default folder you have setup in NewsLeecher and your all set to share it now.
:D :D
Re: How To Make NZB Files
Newsbin Pro v5 can create nzb files in the same way as NewsLeecher:
1. Highlight files to be part of nzb
2. Right-click and select Create NZB from Posts
3. Find a folder to save to, enter a name for the file and hit Enter
I have an idea that this facility existed in NBP v4, too.
Re: How To Make NZB Files
This is from newsbin.com FAQ on how to make a nzb file with Newsbin Pro:
1) Highlight all the headers you want to include in the NZB file
2) Right-click in the Post List and select "Save Posts to Disk"
3) In the resulting "Save As" dialog, navigate to the folder you want to save the nzb file in and specify a name.
4) Click the "Save" button. The NZB file should now be in the folder you specified.
Re: How To Make NZB Files
Is there (are there) any tools to edit the nzb file itself? Generating the 'root' nzb file is straightforward, but I've tried developing some 'stealth' techniques and haven't quite figured out everything, as the resulting file doesn't quite work (get all sorts of errors trying to upload).
Any possibilities, or do I have to keep plugging away with the nzb spec in one hand, and what'll be left of my brain in the other...?!
Re: How To Make NZB Files
You can edit it in notepad although Im not sure what your trying to do really...

I'm not sure wtf you're trying to do, but don't like the sound of it
don't think I want to help someone do any "stealthy" shit....
Re: How To Make NZB Files
It really cant be that hard its just simple xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Generator: im the generator -->
<!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.0//EN" http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.0.dtd">
<nzb xmlns="http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/2003/nzb">
<file subject="article_subject_goes here" date="xxxxxxxxxxx" poster="posters_name_here">
<groups><group>alt.binaries.something</group></groups>
<segments><segment number="1" bytes="xxxxx">id_goes_here</segment></segments>
</file>
</nzb>
make sure tags dont stretch across lines and that they are always closed pretty simple.
not sure why you would want to do this by hand. It might be handy for cutting out files but thats about it adding would be a real pain.
Re: How To Make NZB Files
In the most recent version of Xnews you can create a .nzb file.
1) In the newsgroup window highlight the files for which you wish to create the .nzb.
2) Right-click and choose "Export to NZB".
3) Use the save dialogue as normal.
