Hello,
I downloaded .nzb files for the first time.
I've tried NewsBin ( reader I used to get them )
It tells me I don't have a master splitter file.

I tried Binary Boy, and since I didn't use that
to get them ( or so it seems ) figuring out how
to import, force in, get them, or whatever is not
happening.

The filenames came down with 3 extensions:

..NZB
..PAR2
..FLAC

Am I way out of touch here?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jerome

If it's master splitter as in -

nzb is simply a list of the parts, d/l the nzb and launch it , the news
reader should if it understands nzb like NewsBin and NewsLeecher
(which I use) will download the rest of the parts.

You need QuickPar, verifies the files dowloaded without errors and can

repair incomplete d/l's.

A music file format, IIRC. However taking a wild guess.

Open a search session and go to the Queue tab. Right-click and a menu will
pop up. Click "Load from NZB". Find the file. Click the Progress tab.
Click Go.

Read all about NZBs from the boiz who invented the things:
http://docs.newzbin.com/Newzbin:Basics

Then get either the demo version of the awesome NewsLeecher or the
full version of the equally-awesome but simpler-to-use 'NZB-O-Matic
Plus'.
http://www.newsleecher.com/
http://www.bunnyhug.net/nomp/ (needs .NET framework v1.1 installed
first)

If you've got IRC, point your client towards irc.newzbin.com & /j
#newzbin - we're happy to help/flame all newbies).

Follow the above & soon you'll have a movie/music collection so large
you'll run out of hours in the day & your gluteus will have turned to
bubblegum. Enjoy!
